The Sindh Bar Council has officially established a dedicated Police Desk at its office on the 5th Floor, High Court Building, Karachi, ensuring that lawyers across the province no longer need to visit police stations directly for their personal matters.

Key highlights of this initiative:

✅ Complaints will be routed through the SBC Focal Person
✅ Valid complaints forwarded directly to the DSP Desk, then coordinated with the Area SSP
✅ Invalid complaints referred to the Disciplinary Committee
✅ A PDSP (BS-17) officer, Mr. Muhammad Shahid has been officially deputed as Liaison Officer
✅ Approved by the Hon'ble Home and Law Minister, Government of Sindh

This initiative reflects a meaningful collaboration between the Sindh Bar Council and Karachi Range Police to protect the rights and dignity of the legal fraternity.

⚖️ LANDMARK RULING | IHC Recognises Women's Share in Marital Assets

The Islamabad High Court has delivered a historic 28-page verdict, a wife, whether a homemaker or a working professional, is entitled to at least 50% of all household assets acquired during marriage.

Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani also recommended a dedicated column be added to the Nikahnama under the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961, allowing women to formally stipulate equal division of property at the time of marriage itself.

Key takeaways from the judgment:

→ Marriage is an economic partnership, not just a personal contract
→ Both monetary and non-monetary contributions must be legally recognised
→ Matrimonial property to be divided equitably upon divorce or death
→ Nikahnama reform proposed to embed these rights from day one
→ A 10-point framework established for valuing household and dowry items

This ruling draws on Islamic jurisprudence, CEDAW, and family law frameworks from Malaysia, Turkey, the UK, Canada & more.

This incident occurred at the Lahore Sessions Court and, unfortunately, it is not an isolated case. Similar acts of violence have taken place within court premises in Karachi as well, ranging from a husband shooting his wife during pre-trial proceedings in a family court, to a tragic incident where a father killed his daughter over a marriage of choice, among others. These repeated occurrences raise serious concerns about the effectiveness of security arrangements in our courts. This is not only a grave threat to litigants and the public, but also to the legal community. The matter demands urgent and serious attention to ensure that such incidents are prevented in the future.
