Suit for recovery of dowry articles

It is a matter of observance that in family disputes, particularly in suit for recovery of dowry articles in most of the cases both the parties try to conceal true facts qua its quantity , therefore, it becomes the duty of the Court to decide the controversy in a manner so that no injustice could be done to either side. In order to fulfill this obligation a Family Court being a quasi judicial forum could draw and follow its own procedure provided it is not against the principles of fair hearing, trial and equity etc.

Reliance is placed on case reported as Muhammad Tabish Naeem Khan ..Vs.. Addl. District Judge, Lahore and others (2014 SCMR 1365).
