Cases before the Peshawar High Court and the District & Sessions Courts, Peshawar, including bail, appeals and writ petitions.
Samad Ali Shah is an Advocate High Court and a member of the Peshawar High Court Bar Association. He appears before the Peshawar High Court and the District & Sessions Courts, Peshawar, in criminal, family, civil and constitutional matters.
His chamber is at the District Courts, Nowshera, and he attends court in Peshawar whenever his cases are listed there.
People usually need a lawyer at the High Court at a particular moment: after bail has been refused by a lower court, when a decision has to be appealed, or when an order of a government department needs to be challenged. Others have cases running in the Peshawar district courts themselves.
Appeals and revisions are subject to time limits that run from the date of the decision, so it is worth getting in touch soon after an order is passed rather than waiting. Bring or send the order itself, because the grounds of any challenge start from what the lower court actually decided.
