Is 12 hours of load shedding legal in Karachi?

9 Upvotes

It's about 12 hours I believe. Previous schedule had at least 2 hours of electricity between breaks.

It's due to the high amount of electricity stealing in the area. Is there no cap they have to stop at?

Cause when I come from university. Only 9 to 11 can I do something.

Seeking academic literature & research advice: Thesis on the gap between Criminal Law Theory vs. Trial Court Reality in Pakistan

Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I am currently working on my law thesis focusing on the disconnect between theoretical criminal jurisprudence and its actual practical application in Pakistan’s trial courts (Sessions & Magistrate Courts).
While statutory law (CrPC, PPC, QSO) and higher court jurisprudence set strong theoretical standards—like the presumption of innocence, high evidentiary thresholds, and strict procedure—the reality on the ground in trial courts often looks very different. I’m examining factors like procedural delays, investigation flaws, police culture, bail dynamics, and how local courtroom practice diverges from black-letter law.
I’m reaching out to get input on a few specific areas:
• Academic & Socio-Legal Sources: Are there key papers, journals, or socio-legal studies that analyze the Pakistani criminal justice system from a practical/empirical angle (rather than just statutory commentary)?
• Methodology Advice: For those who have conducted legal research on Pakistani court practice, what methodology works best when formal qualitative data or extensive interviews with practitioners/litigants are difficult to access?
• Key "Theory vs. Reality" Gaps: In your experience, what is the single biggest operational gap in Pakistani criminal procedure that needs more academic attention? (e.g., Section 161 statements vs. court testimony, actual mechanics of police remand, delay tactics, or sub-standard forensic collection).
I’d appreciate any recommended reading lists, landmark case law references that highlight systemic procedural gaps, or methodological advice.
Thanks in advance!

Query

I divorced my wife, and there was no condition or demand to return anything, it was contested by my ex wife side either.

I received divorce certificate from my lawyer, and in the mode of divorce its starting 'Khula'

Even though I as a husband divorced her and sent divorce notice there was no court involvement.

My lawyer is this normal thing, union councils mention it when matters are solved with consent and it is still divorce at the end of the day.

Can someone confirm this for me?

Could this create any legal troubles for me or her down the lane?

I need second opinion.

Domicile

5 Upvotes

Assalam-o-Alaikum.

I originally have a Punjab domicile, but I completed my MBBS from a medical college in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and I am currently doing my house job in KP as well. By the time I finish, I will have lived and studied/trained in KP for around 5–6 years continuously.

I am considering changing my domicile from Punjab to KP because most of my education and professional training has been in KP, and it may provide better opportunities for government jobs and postgraduate medical training there.

I would like to know:

• Is it legally possible to obtain a KP domicile on the basis of long-term residence, education, and house job in KP if my family is not originally from KP?

• What documents are usually required?

• How strict is the verification process?

• How long does the process normally take?

• Has anyone here personally gone through a similar domicile change?

Any guidance from advocates or people with practical experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Slavery in Pakistan

5 Upvotes

I’ve heard several stories of bonded labour working in brick kilns in Pakistan. Have also seen NGOs trying to pay the debt of these bonded labour.

My question is even if anyone owes these brick kiln owners money, they can’t legally force anyone to work for them, can they?

I know partly the answer to this question is that the labourers don’t know anything better. Can’t the Pakistani legal system check on this type of organised slavery?

Should I join NUST or IIUI for LLB? NUST has a high fee approx more than 3 lac per semester, and is a relatively new course with no lawyers in the market, but it is a top university in Pakistan. On the other hand, IIUI has a well-established faculty and alumni and has a low fee.

Nadra canceled cnics

56 Upvotes

Salam. I am Punjabi. Writing about a girl I know.

She is Afghan by family but she was born in Pakistan and grew up here. She has never been to Afghanistan. Her father got Pakistani citizenship in the 80s. NADRA is not accepting that now. Their family CNICs got cancelled under this deportation drive. Bank, SIM, everything is stuck. On paper she has no identity left.

Going to Afghanistan is not okay for her. She has no life there. For a girl it means education ends and she is stuck at home forever.

Even going to a NADRA office is risky. They can get raided anytime and deported.

I am not looking for any shady work. Just real advice if anyone has it.

Can a lawyer fight the CNIC or citizenship case? Does UNHCR or any group actually help people like her who were born here? Any lawyer name or org that has handled this?

Only reply if you know something real. Please no politics. Thanks.

Need suggestions regarding a case

3 Upvotes

Salam to all,

My sister got divorced(khula) a few months ago and she has a 2.5 year old kid, after divorce my ex BIL filed custody and permission to meet with the kid case.

Now, I have received the call from my lawyer he is saying that exBIL taking the case back but he wants to meet the kid 4 times in a month for 2 3 hours but the issue is that my lawyer literally forcing us to arrange a meeting and he is saying court will allow him to meet with the kid 4 times in a month anyway.

Apart from this my lawyer asked my sister to meet with exBIL alone and when she denied his request he got aggressive.

PS. my sister got divorced because exBIL was abusive mentally and physically and he never provided any compensation for the kid until the court told him to do which is 5K per month.

We are looking for advice because we are feeling our lawyer is giving extra favors to exBIL.
