The enactment of the Special Court (Overseas Pakistanis Property) Act, 2024 marks a watershed moment in Pakistan’s legal landscape. For the first time, the government has introduced a comprehensive and structured legal mechanism to protect overseas Pakistanis—a group that plays a vital role in Pakistan’s economy—against illegal dispossession, property fraud, and coercive occupation of their assets back home.

At Jurist Panel, we recognize the profound significance of this development and are committed to helping our clients navigate this new legal opportunity. With over two decades of experience handling real estate disputes, family property claims, inheritance issues, and cross-border litigation, our firm is uniquely positioned to represent overseas Pakistanis before these newly established Special Courts.

This legislation sets up Special Courts exclusively tasked with resolving immovable property disputes involving Pakistanis living abroad. These courts are mandated to deliver decisions within 90 days, offering swift justice in a country where legal delays are often the biggest deterrent to litigation. The Act is intended to reduce the exploitation of overseas Pakistanis by relatives, land grabbers, and fraudulent actors who assume that distance equals legal vulnerability. With the backing of a legal framework that recognizes the unique challenges faced by the diaspora, overseas Pakistanis now have an enforceable right to seek legal redress through designated, time-bound judicial forums.

At Jurist Panel, our commitment to overseas Pakistanis goes beyond just court representation. We offer a comprehensive end-to-end service model tailored to the needs of clients who may not be able to travel to Pakistan or who require representation that is trustworthy, responsive, and highly strategic. From initiating legal proceedings under the new law and preparing claims or urgent injunctive relief applications to managing remote consultations and legal formalities such as Power of Attorney execution and overseas notarization—we handle every step with efficiency and transparency.

Our team also assists with land title verification, mutation disputes, family settlements, and succession matters. We liaise directly with land revenue authorities and government bodies to resolve unauthorized transactions and encroachments. For our clients living abroad, we provide real-time case updates and ensure all documentation complies with current legal standards to prevent procedural delays.

The property you have acquired—whether through inheritance, personal investment, or family transfers—is more than just land. It represents your roots, identity, and legacy. For years, overseas Pakistanis have been among the most vulnerable to property fraud and land grabbing, often finding themselves trapped in lengthy litigation or, worse, unable to take legal action due to lack of access or legal clarity. This new Act signals that the State recognizes the importance of securing your rights and restoring your confidence in the legal system. The 90-day adjudication period, combined with dedicated judicial forums, means that your claims are no longer lost in the backlog of general civil litigation. But legal reform is only half the battle—you still need skilled representation to build and argue your case effectively.

Jurist Panel has been at the forefront of legal services for expatriates, dual nationals, and foreign investors in Pakistan. Our reach spans Islamabad, Lahore and the UK, and our legal team includes seasoned advocates, court specialists, and cross-border legal consultants. We have helped hundreds of clients resolve their legal issues in Pakistan without having to step foot in a courtroom. With this new law in place, now is the time for overseas Pakistanis to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. Whether you are facing illegal possession, inheritance disputes, or encroachment by a third party, we are here to offer a legal strategy that is efficient, enforceable, and personalized to your circumstances.

If you are an overseas Pakistani seeking advice or representation under this new Act, please contact our team. We offer confidential consultations and customized legal strategies to protect your property interests in Pakistan.
