Criminal Litigation

Quick answer

Representation from the first FIR through trial, bail and appeal. Irfan Mir Halepota & Associates represents clients in this area before the relevant Karachi courts and tribunals.

The outcome of a criminal matter is often decided in its first days — whether an FIR is challenged, how a bail application is framed, what is put on record at the investigation stage. Our chamber has built its reputation on exactly that early, procedural discipline, carrying clients through investigation, trial, and appeal with the same attention throughout.

Common questions

Someone has filed a false FIR against me — what should I do first?

Do not give a statement to the police without counsel present, and get the FIR reviewed immediately. Depending on the offence, pre-arrest bail or a quashment petition may be available, and both are time-sensitive.

Do you handle harassment and cyber-crime complaints?

Yes, both filing complaints on behalf of complainants and defending clients accused under harassment or electronic-crime provisions.
