Criminal Law

Criminal law in Pakistan deals with offences against individuals and the state, and sets out how investigations, arrests, trials, punishments, and appeals are carried out under statutes such as the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) 1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) 1898, and special laws like NAB, PECA, CNSA, AMLA, and ATA. It governs matters such as bail, pre-trial and remand proceedings, trial representation, accountability and anti-corruption cases, cybercrime and financial offences, drugs and narcotics charges, anti-terrorism cases, and family-related criminal complaints. 

A person accused of a crime faces many challenges, including limited freedom, and even sometimes their reputation and future are at stake. The criminal justice system in Pakistan, for a common person, is generally intimidating without expert legal support. Criminal law experts at SALAM Law Firm offer legal representation to deal with criminal investigation, arrest, bail, trial, and appeal.

From the very start, our clients have access to a dedicated legal team to protect their legal rights and restore their dignity in the eyes of the law and society. We provide defense and prosecution services as per the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) 1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) 1898, and all other key special criminal statutes.

The pre-trial stage often determines the direction of a case. We provide strong representation during arrest, bail, remand, and investigation oversight. Our lawyers ensure that police powers are not misused and that every action complies with CrPC and constitutional safeguards.

We contest unlawful physical remand, secure judicial remand where appropriate, and scrutinize transit remand requests to prevent arbitrary transfers and unlawful detention.
