Sindh High Court
The High Court for Sindh, sitting at Karachi with benches at Hyderabad, Sukkur and Larkana.
The forum
The Sindh High Court has jurisdiction across Sindh, with its principal seat at Karachi and benches at Hyderabad, Sukkur and Larkana. It also carries original jurisdiction in certain civil matters above a value threshold, which is unusual among the High Courts and means some suits begin here rather than arriving on appeal.
Where it sits
The principal seat is Karachi. It also sits at Hyderabad, Sukkur and Larkana. A date given at one is not a date at another, which is why the bench belongs in the record with the date.
What a firm has to track
A Karachi practice can have a working week entirely inside one building, which makes the interior benches the ones that get missed. A matter at Sukkur or Larkana needs its date known early enough to travel, and needs somebody named against it — not "one of us will go".
The date the court gives is a fact. Whoever is standing there records it in CaseMate before they leave the building, and the office acknowledges it — it does not wait to be approved.
The firm decides who goes to the next hearing, against the hearing itself. A matter at a distant bench is a travel arrangement, not a line in a list.
Every previous date, its outcome and the note taken at the time — so a partner can be answered without opening the file.
A hearing in the past with nothing recorded against it is the one thing a diary must never hide. CaseMate lists them separately.
