Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fundamental rights enforcement proceeding?
It is a special procedure under the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules 2009 for enforcing constitutionally guaranteed rights such as the right to life, personal liberty, fair hearing, and freedom of expression.
How long does a constitutional case take?
Constitutional matters vary significantly — from weeks for urgent fundamental rights applications to several years for complex cases that proceed to the Supreme Court. We provide realistic timelines at the outset of every matter.
Can I bring a case against the government?
Yes. The constitution guarantees every citizen the right to challenge government actions that violate constitutional provisions or fundamental rights. Our firm has extensive experience suing government agencies and officials.
