Civil Law

Civil law in Pakistan deals with legal disputes between individuals, businesses, and organizations. Unlike criminal law, which involves offences against the state, civil law focuses on protecting private rights, resolving disputes, and providing legal remedies such as compensation, injunctions, declarations, or specific performance. Civil cases are generally heard by Civil Courts under the procedures established by the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC).
