EXPERIENCED DEFENSE AND PROSECUTION LAWYERS

Criminal law, dedicated to the punishment of offenders, is a complex legal system. At the heart of this system is the Pakistan Penal Code, 1860, a substantive law governing offenses charged in Pakistan. This code delineates punishments, including penal penalties, fines, imprisonment, and forfeiture of property. Beyond the penal code, other substantive laws, such as those concerning Cybercrime, Accountability, Anti-Narcotics, and Anti-Terrorism, govern criminal offenses in Pakistan. The Criminal Procedure Code, 1898, serves as the primary legislation dictating the procedure for administering substantive criminal law in Pakistan. It outlines the process for investigating crimes, apprehending criminals, collecting evidence from crime scenes, determining the guilt or innocence of accused individuals, and defining the powers of judicial officers.
