What Is Civil Law? | Understanding Civil Law in Pakistan

Civil law deals with non-criminal disputes where one party seeks legal remedy against another for violation of civil or legal rights. Unlike criminal law, civil law focuses on compensation, enforcement of rights, declarations, and injunctions rather than punishment.

Civil law covers a wide range of matters including contracts, property, family disputes, recovery of money, torts, and declaratory suits.

Key Civil Laws Applicable in Pakistan

Civil matters in Pakistan are governed by various statutes and procedural laws, including:

• Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC)
• Contract Act, 1872
• Specific Relief Act, 1877
• Limitation Act, 1908
• Transfer of Property Act, 1882
• Qanun-e-Shahadat Order, 1984

These laws regulate civil proceedings, rights, remedies, and enforcement mechanisms.

Types of Civil Suits in Pakistan | Common Civil Litigation Matters

Property & Land Disputes Under Civil Law

Our civil lawyers handle property cases efficiently, ensuring protection of ownership rights through injunctions and declaratory relief.

Osmani Law has extensive experience in obtaining urgent interim reliefs in civil matters to safeguard clients’ interests.

Execution of Decrees & Enforcement of Civil Judgments

Obtaining a decree is only part of civil litigation. Execution proceedings are crucial to enforce court judgments. Civil law provides procedures for:

Our firm actively represents clients in execution proceedings to ensure effective enforcement of civil judgments.
