Criminal Complaints for Overseas Pakistanis

Being abroad shouldn't mean a crime against you in Pakistan goes unanswered — or that a false case filed in your absence goes undefended. GNS Law Associates files criminal complaints and FIRs, and defends false cases, on behalf of overseas Pakistanis — handling the whole matter in Karachi through a Power of Attorney and an authorised representative.

What We Do

Pursue — or Defend — a Criminal Case From Abroad

Overseas Pakistanis are often targeted precisely because they are away: property is grabbed, money is misappropriated, or a false FIR is registered to pressure them, on the assumption they cannot respond from abroad. They can — through us. We file FIRs and criminal complaints, pursue the offenders, and where the police refuse to act, file a Section 22-A petition to compel registration.

Equally, if a false or malicious FIR has been registered against you back home, we act at once — securing pre-arrest bail so your visits to Pakistan are safe, and moving to quash a baseless FIR. Because an accused's personal appearance is sometimes required, we advise clearly on what can be handled by representative and what, if anything, needs you present.

We help you with
  • 01Filing FIRs & complaintsRegistering criminal complaints and FIRs against offenders in Pakistan.
  • 02Police inaction (22-A)Compelling FIR registration when the police refuse.
  • 03Defending false casesPre-arrest bail and quashment of malicious FIRs against you.
  • 04Fraud & property crimeActing where you've been cheated or your property seized in your absence.

Ask a Question
Can I file an FIR or criminal complaint in Pakistan from abroad?
Yes. Through an authorised representative and a Power of Attorney, we can file a criminal complaint or pursue registration of an FIR on your behalf in Pakistan, and follow the matter through. Where the police refuse to register, we file a Section 22-A petition to compel them.
A false FIR has been registered against me while I'm abroad — what can I do?
Act quickly. We can move for pre-arrest (anticipatory) bail so you are protected, and where the FIR is baseless, file to quash it. This also makes your visits to Pakistan safe. Contact us as soon as you learn of the FIR.
Do I need to travel to Pakistan for a criminal case?
Much can be handled by your advocate and authorised representative, but criminal proceedings sometimes require the personal appearance of a complainant or accused at certain stages. We tell you clearly and in advance what, if anything, needs your presence and minimise it.
Someone grabbed my property or cheated me while I was overseas — is that criminal?
It often is — offences such as cheating, criminal breach of trust, forgery, and fraudulent transfer may all apply, alongside civil recovery. We assess the facts and pursue the criminal complaint and civil remedy together to recover what is yours.
How will you keep me updated on a case from another country?
We communicate by WhatsApp and email and schedule calls around your time zone. You receive clear updates at each stage of the investigation and proceedings, in plain English.
