FAMILY COURTS ORDINANCE 1985, SECTION 3

Section 3—

The contention that the provision of section 3 of the Ordinance overrides other laws so that a person cannot get any relief as provided in any other law if he can get such relief in the Family Courts Ordinance cannot be accepted as a relief provided in an Act cannot be taken away by providing similar relief in a subsequent Act, instead of repealing that provision in the previous Act.
