The ability to sue an association in Pakistan depends on its registration status under local laws. Associations, clubs, and societies are typically unincorporated entities without shares, which means they lack a separate legal entity and, therefore, cannot sue or be sued directly on contracts made in their own name or on their behalf. In such cases, the liability generally falls on the office bearers of the association.
If you intend to initiate legal action against an association, it is important to determine its registration status beforehand. Registered associations may have legal recognition and can be subject to legal proceedings. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct due diligence and ascertain the association’s registration status before pursuing any legal action.
