Pakistan Case Law

Pakistan Case Law searches more than 230,000 reported judgments of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, the Federal Constitutional Court, the Federal Shariat Court, the High Courts and tribunals, from 1970 to the present, with new judgments added daily.

Results carry their law-report citation (PLD, SCMR, CLC, YLR, MLD, PCrLJ, PLC, PTD and others), the court's recorded outcome and a link to the full judgment on pakistancaselaw.com, so each answer can be checked against the source.

What it does:

• Full-text search of every judgment, ranked by relevance, date or court seniority, and narrowed by court, by a judge on the bench or the judge who wrote it, by law report and volume (such as SCMR 2025), or by year.
• The latest judgments of a court, or the newest additions to the library.
• Judgments found by the legal question they settle, such as "Can bail once granted be cancelled?"
• The judgment at an exact citation, such as PLD 1995 Supreme Court 34.
• A judgment's summary (where one exists), outcome and full text, or only the paragraphs needed from a long judgment.
• The citation graph: the precedents a judgment relied on, and the later cases that cite it.
• The most-cited judgments, as a starting point for any area of law.

For advocates, judges' researchers, law students and anyone researching the law of Pakistan. Read-only, with no account or sign-in.

Judgments are court records and can describe crimes and family disputes in detail.
