Civil Courts

In every district of a Province, there is a Court of District Judge which is the principal court of original jurisdiction in civil matters. Courts of General Jurisdiction besides the Court of District Judge, there are courts of Civil Judges. The Civil Courts are of 3 classes, i.e. Civil Judges-Class-III, Civil Judges-Class-II and Senior Civil Judges-Class-I. Civil Judges function under the superintendence and control of District Judge and all matters of civil nature originate in the courts of Judges. The District Judge may, however, withdraw any case from any Civil Judge and try it himself. . Appeals against their judgments, decrees and orders are filed before the District Judge who either hears the same himself or transfers to the Additional District Judges. Appeals and Revision against the Orders of the District Judge and Additional District Judge are filed before the High Court. In selected matters Appeals, through special leave can be filed before the Supreme Court, the apex court.

After hearing all the evidence presented and the respective submissions made by the parties, the Judge will proceed to pronounce Judgment on the matter.
