The provisions of the Civil Procedure Code have been excluded by section 17 of the Family Court Act, 1964,

Further reference may be made to case titled Dr.Asma Ali vs. Masood Sajjad and others (PLD 2011 SC 221). The relevant portion of the judgment is reproduced herein below :-

“The provisions of the Civil Procedure Code have been excluded by section 17 of the Family Court Act, 1964, to proceedings under it. And it has been consistently held that such provisions are not stricto sensu applicable to the proceedings before the Family Court. However, as the Family Court Act is not an all-encompassing legislation and the principles of certain provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure have at times been invoked when necessary to give effect to the Family Court Act.”
