Most consumer cases aren’t lost on evidence; they’re lost on procedure.

As a practicing consumer lawyer in Multan, I regularly see consumers lose otherwise strong cases because of one basic mistake:

Ignoring or delaying the mandatory legal notice under Section 28 of the Punjab Consumer Protection Act, 2005.

📌 Key point:
A legal notice must be served within 15 days from the accrual of the cause of action. Missing this requirement can be fatal to your claim, no matter how genuine the grievance is.

Another common mistake is sending the notice to the wrong party.
For example, when a company provides a defective product or poor service, claimants often address the notice to an employee or salesperson. This is legally incorrect.

✅ The correct approach:
The legal notice must be addressed to the company or legal entity whose product you purchased or whose service you used, not an individual employee.

Whether the issue involves defective products, deficient services, or unfair trade practices, consumer law offers strong protection, but only when its procedure is followed correctly.

I regularly appear before Consumer Courts and Special Courts in Multan, handling matters related to:

• Consumer Law
• Banking Law
• Labour Law
• Criminal Law

Mir Muhammad and others Vs. National Accountability Bureau through Chairman and others (2020 SCMR 168)

Grant of pre-arrest bail was an extraordinary remedy, essentially rooted into equity; it was a judicial power which was to be cautiously exercised with a view to protect the innocent from the horrors of abuse of process of law, in prosecutions initiated by considerations and for purposes stained with mala fide---Said judicial protection was not to be extended in every run of the mill criminal case, with pleas structured on bald denials and parallel stories.

'Lawyers' ethics' has been described as one of the great oxymorons. Jokes about law- yers abound. Few are complimentary:

The National Institutes of Health have announced that they will no longer be using rats for medical experimentation. In their place, they will use lawyers. They have given three reasons for this decision.

1. There are now more lawyers than there are rats.
2. The medical researchers don't become as emotionally attached to the lawyers as they did to the rats.
3. There are some things that even rats won't do.

AFTER ALL, WE ARE NOTHING MORE OR LESS THAN WHAT WE CHOOSE TO REVEAL.

The UK's monarch was the figurehead for white supremacy and colonialism. It was in the name of the crown that liberal imperialism committed extraordinary violence throughout the world. No one should police the outrage of the former colonies today on the death of this figure. Some will say that the Queen had little power over the decisions made during colonialism. They miss that the criticism and outrage is directed at the institution of monarchy. An institution built on the back of racism and exploitation of half the world. Through economic exploitation Britain and hence the monarchy grew wealthy. Through slavery the royal family grew rich. Through theft, they gathered their jewels. Britain's empire was built on violence and so was the monarchy's power. The monarchy never acknowledged its racist past. Colonialism's impact continues to be felt throughout the world today. As long as that is true, its figurehead will be criticized.

Equal justice under law is not just a caption on the facade of the supreme Court building. It is perhaps the most inspiring ideal of our society and it is fundamental that justice should be the same, in substance and availability without regard to economic status.

AUDI ALTERAM PARTEM:

Audi alteram partem is the basic concept of the principles of natural justice. It means that both sides must be heard before passing any order. It signifies that no man can be condemned without a hearing. It is a fundamental principle of natural justice that before an order is passed against a person, he should be given an opportunity to be heard in the matter.
