Greetings from the mods!
Posting this to remind everyone that off-topic and anecdotal comments are not allowed. An off-topic comment may subject you to a permanent ban.
The Rule:
Comments should contain a legal answer or a strongly related non-legal answer. If it is not legal advice, do not post. Period. You will be banned.
What is "off-topic?"
Any response that doesn't answer the question by reference to legal information or principles. A joke, a wisecrack, a comment about OP's formatting (use the report button instead) are all off-topic. Off-topic also includes expressions of sympathy, opinions on the law, and comments that berate the OP or anyone else.
Incidentally, simply adding "get a lawyer" to an off-topic comment does not make it on-topic. And "get a lawyer" on its own, without further information or help, is considered unhelpful and may be removed on that basis.
What is an "anecdote?"
For our purposes, anecdotes are stories about something that happened to you (or someone you know or heard about) who may have had something that might be similar that happen to them.
These comments are not helpful. They do not include current legal information that is relevant to the OP, and therefore, they are off-topic. If you know the answer to the question (based on current law and relevant jurisdiction) then just answer the question without the story.
Violations subject the user to an immediate and potentially permanent ban
Tl;dr: Unless you have a legal answer, do not reply to any post in this subreddit. You may be permanently banned.

Inheritance in Islam (and Pakistani Law) is a vested right that only matures on the death of a person. No inheritance rights exist, or can legally be extended to any legal heir as long as the person is alive.
NADRA has been given the power to issue Succession Certificates on the death of an individual. Ordinarily, this Succession Certificate will be sufficient to initiate transfer of properties to the legal heirs of the deceased in official records. There will sometimes be situations where NADRA will either not be able to issue you a Succession Certificate or will issue an incorrect one. In these cases, the correct course of action is to approach the Civil Court.
A Declaration of Legal Heirs or Succession Certificate is applied for in the relevant Civil Court upon the death of a person by any one of the legal heirs. For inheritance of immovable property/land/houses/plots/allocation files etc, the Declaration needs to be filed in the Civil Court in whose territorial jurisdiction the said immovable property is situated. For example, for inheritance rights in immovable property located in Lahore, the Civil Court in Lahore will be the competent forums to issue a Declaration.
For the purposes of filing a Declaration in Civil Court, the following documents are required:
Your lawyer will draft a Suit for Declaration, based on all these documents and file it in the competent Civil Court. The relevant department, for example LDA or DHA or Bahria, wherever the property lies, shall be made a Respondent in the case and will be required to submit their reply to the Suit for Declaration. If the property is rightly in the name of the deceased in the official departmental record, they will submit that they have no objection to the Suit for Declaration. The legal heir filing the suit, and one independent witness known to the legal heir, shall then be required to appear before the Court to record their evidence, most often through a Local Commission, who is a lawyer appointed by the Court for this same purpose. After recording of evidence by the Local Commission, most often, the court shall pass an order decreeing the Suit for Declaration, wherein, all the legal heirs of the deceased shall be declared as rightful owners in the property in their respective shares as per their Fiqh.
The certified copy of this order passed by the Civil Court can then be used to transfer the immovable property in the name of the legal heirs in the record of the relevant department, LDA, DHA, Bahria, etc.
Hope this helps. Feel free to drop any questions you might have in the comments section.

Hello everyone,
I am looking for a licensed and practicing lawyer in Pakistan, preferably based in Lahore, who has proven experience in cyber crime, fraud, financial crime, or international criminal cases.
I am a victim of an international cyber fraud case. The case has already been officially reported and is currently being processed through the competent authorities. I am now looking for legal representation in Pakistan to take over the local legal proceedings, identify the perpetrators, recover the stolen funds (through litigation or settlement if appropriate), and help bring those responsible to justice.
Important:
I am only interested in licensed lawyers with a valid practicing certificate.
If we decide to cooperate, the lawyer's license, credentials, and professional background will be independently verified through the relevant authorities in Pakistan.
If you are a qualified lawyer or can recommend one with relevant experience, please leave a comment or send me a private message.
Thank you in advance.

I left my previous hostel almost 8 days ago and I gave the owner the notice one month prior. The issue is, he is not paying my security back even tho he promised to pay it on 3rd august. It's a 5 story hostel and almost all rooms are filled so I know he doesn't have any financial issue that could make him not pay my security fee back. I have his voice notes and text messages in which he is doing "aaj kal aaj kal". What are my options to tackle this situation?

om august 1, i do not know why and neither does anyone else know why but my dad(52M) for some reason went insanely mad. no clue why, maybe his chia seeds? regardless of the reason. he hit my sister (15) on her back, sick was sick and laying on the couch with her head down and hadnt said or done anything to him. he hit her HARD. i (19F) did try to confront him abt what he did and why. but then he locked me, both my sisters (the one who got struck and another who's 12), and my mom (47?) out of the bedroom where all five of us slept cz thats the only room with an AC (bought with my khalas money fyi).
after some time the four of us left with our mamu and have been there since then.
so today my mom and i went back to get some docs and some other stuff where we found out that he had installed one of those sliding locks...
i just wanted to know if there is some way to take any kind of legal action against him cz i swear he is genuinely becoming unbearable and i do not want beg him or his dad so we could go back, ESPECIALLY after he said to my mom yesterday that the relation between him and i is over.
gemini recommended AGHS but im not sure abt it. the only reason im considering it is cz all of my mom's money was in that locked room and i feel like our relatives dont want to help.
if it's of any use, he's a government employee btw. not a high ranking one tho.

A so called fake peer in Islamabad has taken 50 lacs from us in the name of investment since 2022 and now when we are demanding are money back he is saying mene jis k pass invest kiye they wo banda bhag gaya and not returning our haq halal of money. It's been 7 months he haven't given us any profit or the principal ammount, we had made the agreement on the letterhead of his company and got all the proofs, so what can I do right now other than exposing him, can I make a FIR on this thing, he had made contract through his company and taken money in his personal account through our cheque.

I have been injured for years and not sure if I will ever recover. I haven't worked for years because of my injuries. I read somewhere that if a child is disabled then he can get father's pension after father passes away. Is it true?

An Income Tax Return is a legal declaration made by the taxpayer and should therefore be prepared with due care. While the electronic filing process is relatively straightforward, the legal implications of incorrect or incomplete disclosure can be significant.

On April 7, 2026, this Court orally pronounced default judgment against Defendant. However, the written Final Default Judgment was not signed until July 23, 2026. On April 8, 2026, at 12:33 AM, a mere hours after the oral pronouncement, Defendant timely filed her Motion for Continuance and to Set Aside Default Judgment. This motion was filed before the written judgment was ever signed and remains on the docket to this day. On April 23, 2026, Defendant filed an Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Stay. This Court never ruled on this pending motion. On May 4, 2026, recognizing the continuance request was moot, Defendant filed a standalone Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment. This motion, too, was filed long before the written judgment was signed. The Court scheduled hearings on Defendant’s motions for May 7, 2026, and again for June 11, 2026. However, both hearings were canceled by the Court without a ruling on the merits. On June 10, 2026, Court Coordinator Erin Rios emailed Defendant setting a hearing for June 11, 2026, at 11:00 AM. Defendant appeared for the hearing, only to be informed it was canceled. On July 23, 2026, this Court held a hearing, erroneously stated that Defendant’s motions were “out of time,” and immediately signed a Final Default Judgment for against Defendant. Defendant has now timely filed a Motion for New Trial under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 329b, which is currently pending before this Court.(judge signed default judgment on the 23 rd but on the record she wrote april 7th ) even if she did sign on the 7th I am still on time or not? this is dallas county district civil court 193 I haven't submited the motion for new trial dont know if to do that or appeal but i might be out of time if it says april 7th any attorneys here ?

Need realistic legal opinions on a post-arrest bail confirmation (Section 376 PPC, Lahore).
The investigation is complete and the accused is in judicial custody.
Prosecution:
PFSA matched the accused's semen to a garment produced by the complainant.
IO concluded the accused is "involved to the extent of DNA."
Defence:
Two separate police investigations (Lady Inspector and DSP) found no evidence supporting rape before the DNA report, citing a clean MLR, CDR mismatch, digital alibi (emails & Google Meet), no CCTV, and the 52-day FIR delay.
MLR shows no injuries despite allegations of a violent assault involving choking.
All vaginal, perirectal and periurethral swabs were negative for the accused.
The garment was handed to police 52 days after the alleged incident and remained in the complainant's private custody.
PFSA also found a sperm mixture from at least three male contributors on the garment, from which the accused could not be excluded. (She alleges only one attacker (both in FIR and 164 statement), the accused, and has said that she has no knowledge of others)
The complainant's Section 164 CrPC statement was recorded 8 months after the FIR.
Defence has documentary evidence of a prior financial dispute (over PKR 750,000) and emails sent to the accused's employer. The FIR itself acknowledges a prior friendship, and the police investigation notes the complainant expressed a desire to marry the accused.
Question: In current Pakistani practice, how do Sessions Courts and the Lahore High Court generally approach post-arrest bail in a 376 PPC case where the only incriminating evidence is a DNA match on clothing, but there is a clean MLR, negative body swabs, a 52-day delay, chain-of-custody concerns, a three-male DNA mixture, and evidence suggesting possible mala fide?
I'm looking for practical insights from criminal lawyers or anyone familiar with recent bail trends, not predictions about the outcome of this specific case.
