Quran pertain to a period before the pronouncement of ‘Talaq’ or that an official or other person cannot be designated

8. In case reported as “Muhammad Sarwar and another v. The State” (PLD 1988 Federal Shariat Court 42) it was held as under:-

 “We have gone through the judgment in Mirza Qamar Raza and appreciate that the effectiveness of the ‘Talaq’ cannot be subjected to the service of notice on the Chairman. The observations of the learned Judge that the reconciliation efforts ordained in Quran pertain to a period before the pronouncement of ‘Talaq’ or that an official or other person cannot be designated in a man-made law to enforce and oversee the reconciliation proceedings in obedience to the dictates of Allah, are mere abiter dicta as these questions never fell to be decided.”
