At Josh and Mak International, we understand the significance of the Federal Shariat Court in the Pakistani legal system, particularly in matters related to Islamic law. With our team of skilled and experienced lawyers, we offer exceptional legal representation and guidance for clients seeking assistance at the Federal Shariat Court.
Overview of the Federal Shariat Court: The Federal Shariat Court, located in Islamabad, is the highest court of the sharia court system in Pakistan. Comprising eight Muslim justices, including the Chief Justice, this court plays a crucial role in interpreting and applying Islamic law. The Chief Justice is appointed by the President, while the other justices are selected from retired or serving Muslim Justices of the Supreme Court, Muslim High Court Justices, and Ulema (Islamic scholars).
Jurisdiction of the Federal Shariat Court: The Federal Shariat Court exercises both original and appellate jurisdiction. In its appeals jurisdiction, it reviews orders and judgments in cases involving Hudood laws, which pertain to certain criminal laws governed by Islamic principles. In its original jurisdiction, the court has the authority to examine the compatibility of specific provisions of law with Islamic injunctions. This examination can be initiated through the court’s own motion, a reference from the government, or a petition from a Pakistani citizen. If the Federal Shariat Court deems a provision to be repugnant to Islam, there is a possibility of appealing the decision to the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
