What We Are Expert At

Consumer Protection Law Services

At Faisal Basit Sheikh & Cō. (FBS & Co.), we specialize in providing expert legal services in Consumer Protection Law, ensuring that the rights of consumers are safeguarded in both local and international markets. This critical area of law governs the relationship between businesses and individual consumers, promoting fairness, transparency, and accountability in transactions.

The Evolution of Consumer Protection Laws in Pakistan

The journey of consumer protection in Pakistan began with the Federal Government’s landmark legislation, The Islamabad Consumer Protection Act, 1995. This act paved the way for the provinces to adopt similar measures:

  • Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Consumer Protection Act, 1997
  • Balochistan Consumer Protection Act, 2003
  • Punjab Consumer Protection Act, 2005
  • Sindh Consumer Protection Bill, 2015

The primary objective of these laws is to create a secure and equitable society where consumer rights are protected, and fraudulent practices are eradicated.

Consumer Courts and Councils

The implementation of consumer protection laws led to the establishment of:

  1. District Consumer Courts in Islamabad, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan (with enactment in Sindh underway).
  2. District Consumer Protection Councils across provinces to raise awareness and address grievances.

These courts and councils ensure that consumers have access to justice and are empowered to assert their rights effectively.
