We are proud to announce that Barrister Babar Chambers has been actively engaged in high-profile constitutional and banking law litigation concerning unauthorized digital transaction claims previously decided against our client, Allied Bank Limited, by the Banking Mohtasib Pakistan and the President’s Secretariat.
Over the past year, multiple constitutional petitions were filed on behalf of Allied Bank Limited before the Islamabad High Court, Lahore High Court (Rawalpindi Bench), and Peshawar High Court, challenging adverse determinations arising from complaints relating to unauthorized electronic fund transfers. In all matters, the Hon’ble High Courts were pleased to suspend the impugned proceedings, recognizing serious legal and jurisdictional questions.
Reliance was placed on 2025 CLD 834, which authoritatively clarifies the scope and limits of the Banking Mohtasib’s jurisdiction in disputes involving unauthorized digital transactions. These proceedings reflect the evolving legal landscape governing digital banking disputes in Pakistan, where judicial scrutiny of regulatory process, procedural fairness, and statutory authority remains paramount.
Barrister Babar Chambers continues to represent financial institutions in complex banking, regulatory, and constitutional litigation, and remains committed to providing top-tier legal representation in this rapidly developing area of law.
