Application for rejection of plaint.

Application for rejection of plaint does not lie before family court.—

Besides, the provisions of C.P.C. are not applicable before the Judge, Family Court which functions under West Pakistan Family Court Act, 1964. Section 17 of the said Act specifically bars the application of provisions of C.P.C. except sections 10 and 11 of C.P.C. The Judge, Family Court functions as a Tribunal and the wisdom of the legislators to oust the provisions of C.P.C. is to provide speedy mechanism to decide the matrimonial disputes. Therefore, application under Order VII, rule 11, C.P.C. filed by the petitioner was not maintainable. See Ghulam Murtaza v. Additional District Judge (II); D.G. Khan and 2 others 1999 CLC 81. Sh. Abdul Karim v. Atta Mansoor (2007 C L C 1671) by Khan, J. Hasnat Ahmad
