Yes. Overseas Pakistanis may file and pursue property litigation in Karachi through a legally executed Power of Attorney, subject to applicable legal requirements and court procedures in Pakistan.
Such matters commonly involve:
- Illegal occupation or land grabbing
- Inheritance and ownership disputes
- Fraudulent sale or transfer of property
- Cancellation of documents
- Recovery of possession
- Disputes involving builders or housing projects
In many cases, overseas Pakistanis face difficulties due to unauthorized transactions, misuse of property documents, or delayed legal action while residing abroad.
Pakistani courts generally recognize properly executed and attested Powers of Attorney for litigation purposes, allowing legal proceedings to continue without the personal presence of the overseas party in every hearing.
Cross-border property disputes often require careful handling due to documentation, jurisdictional issues, and enforcement concerns.
