  Summary & questions settled

  This revision petition challenged an Additional District Judge's order remanding a suit for recovery to the Civil Judge for decision on merits. The original suit, based on a breach of agreement, was dismissed by the Civil Judge after both the plaintiff and defendants took special oaths on the Holy Quran under Article 163 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat 1984, each supporting their respective claims. The High Court upheld the remand order, clarifying that Article 163 does not contemplate the dismissal or decree of a suit when both parties support their claims on oath; instead, the trial court must frame issues and record evidence. The Court also rejected the argument that the appeal before the Additional District Judge was time-barred, holding that the time spent in obtaining certified copies, including delays due to the copying agency's failure to inform the applicant, is excludable under Section 12 of the Limitation Act.

  Questions settled

  • Does Article 163 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat 1984 allow for the dismissal or decree of a suit when both parties take a special oath supporting their respective claims?
  • What is the proper procedure for a trial court to follow when both parties in a civil suit take a special oath under Article 163 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat 1984?
  • Can the time taken for obtaining certified copies for an appeal be extended if the copying agency fails to inform the applicant about the copies' readiness?
  • What constitutes 'time requisite' for obtaining copies under Section 12 of the Limitation Act when there is a delay by the copying agency?

  habeas corpusmubaratdivorcemuslim family lawssui jurismarriage dissolutioncustody
  Summary & questions settled

  This petition under Section 491, Code of Criminal Procedure 1898 was filed for the recovery of the petitioner's wife from alleged illegal custody. The core legal question was whether the detenue's previous marriage had been effectively dissolved by mutual agreement (Mubarat), thereby validating her subsequent marriage to the petitioner. The Court held that a divorce by mutual agreement constitutes Mubarat, which is irrevocable upon execution and falls under the ambit of Section 8 of the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961, rather than Section 7. Consequently, the revocation provisions applicable to unilateral Talaq under Section 7 do not apply to Mubarat. The Court found that the Union Council proceedings were misdirected as the previous husband had not initiated them, and the wife's application effectively served as notice under Section 8. The Court declared the previous marriage dissolved and, noting the detenue was sui juris, set her at liberty. The key principle established is that divorce by mutual agreement is irrevocable upon execution and governed by Section 8 of the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961.

  Questions settled

  • Is a divorce by mutual agreement (Mubarat) irrevocable upon execution?
  • Does the revocation provision under Section 7 of the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961 apply to a divorce by Mubarat?
  • Can a wife initiate proceedings under Section 8 of the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961 to declare a Mubarat divorce effective?
  • What is the scope of a court's power under Section 491 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898 when the detenue is sui juris?
