Missing Persons Lawyer in Karachi
For families: FIR, Justice of Peace, the Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances and the Sindh High Court.
Families of missing persons in Karachi can pursue an FIR (or a section 22-A Cr.P.C. petition if it is refused), a complaint before the Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances, and a constitutional petition before the Sindh High Court.
The routes
- Police station — a report or FIR; FIRs in such cases are often registered under Section 365 PPC (kidnapping or abduction).
- Justice of Peace — if the police refuse the FIR, an application under Section 22-A Cr.P.C. to the Sessions Judge. See FIR registration.
- Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances (COIED) — set up in March 2011 under the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1956.
- Sindh High Court — a constitutional petition under Article 199.
These routes can run side by side.
How we proceed
- Report to the police station and keep the receipt.
- If the FIR is refused, a Section 22-A petition.
- A complaint to the Commission.
- A petition before the Sindh High Court.
- Follow-up of progress at every hearing.
Documents
- CNIC of the missing person and of the applicant
- Photographs
- Last-seen details and witnesses
- Copies of applications already given to the police
- Phone records, if available
We do not promise timelines — each case depends on its facts.
