Federal Shariat Court at Islamabad
The principal seat of the Federal Shariat Court. What a firm tracks for a matter listed here.
Islamabad
Islamabad is where the Federal Shariat Court principally sits. It also sits at Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar and Quetta, and a matter listed at one of those is a different journey and often a different person from the firm.
Matters here run alongside a firm's ordinary work rather than in place of it, which is how they get forgotten. The diary has to carry which bench a matter is listed before, because the court moves between cities, and a date given at one sitting is not a date at the seat. A firm also needs to see that a matter here is connected to an ordinary criminal appeal elsewhere on the same facts, or it will send two people to two cities on the same morning without noticing.
Other courts in this city
A firm appearing here rarely appears only here. These are the other courts sitting in Islamabad, and a day spent in one building is a different day from a day spent in three.
