Civil disputes over money, contracts, property and rights can drag on for years if they are not handled with a clear strategy. MAH & Co. represents individuals, families and businesses in civil cases before the Sindh High Court, district courts and civil tribunals in Karachi and across Pakistan.
From the first legal notice to final decree and execution, our Barristers and High Court advocates plan each step carefully, so your rights are protected and your time and costs are controlled.
A civil case is a dispute between private parties, such as individuals, companies or families, where one side asks the court for relief like payment, possession, a declaration of rights or an order to do or stop doing something. Civil suits in Pakistan are governed mainly by the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, along with the Limitation Act, 1908, the Specific Relief Act, 1877, the Contract Act, 1872 and the Qanun-e-Shahadat Order, 1984.
Strict filing deadlines, court fee rules and procedural requirements apply to every suit. A properly drafted plaint and a well-planned strategy at the start often decide how the case ends.
Suits for recovery of unpaid dues, loans, invoices and business payments, including summary suits where the claim qualifies.
Claims for damages or performance when a party fails to honour a written or oral agreement.

It depends on the nature and value of the claim, the location of the property or the defendant, and the court's jurisdiction. We assess this at the start so that the suit is filed in the right forum.
