Our Specialized Petition Services

  • 22A/22B Cr.P.C. Petitions in Sessions Court: We file and argue petitions before the Sessions Judge to compel the police to register a First Information Report (FIR) when they have unlawfully refused to do so. This is a crucial step to initiate a criminal investigation.
  • Writ Petitions under Article 199 of the Constitution: We utilize the powerful writ jurisdiction of the High Court to seek justice. This can be for:
    • FIR Quashment: To cancel an FIR that is based on false, baseless, or malicious allegations, protecting you from wrongful prosecution.
    • Compelling Police Action: To issue a writ of mandamus, compelling police or any public servant to perform a duty that is legally obligated, such as a proper investigation.
  • High Court Representation: Our lawyers have extensive experience representing clients in the High Courts. We are well-versed in the procedural nuances and arguments required for constitutional petitions.

Understanding the Legal Provisions

Section 22A & 22B, Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.P.C.)

These sections empower the Sessions Judge, as a Justice of the Peace, to issue directives to law enforcement agencies. If a complaint of a cognizable offense is made and the police refuse to register the FIR, a petition under these sections can be filed to command them to do so. This is a vital recourse for victims of crime who face resistance from the police.


Article 199, Constitution of Pakistan

This Article grants the High Courts the authority to issue writs. It is an exceptional remedy used to enforce fundamental rights and ensure public bodies act according to the law. We use this to challenge illegal police actions, like the registration of a false FIR, or to demand that the police perform a legal duty they have neglected. It is a powerful check on the actions of the state and its functionaries.
