A bare reading of section 14(b) of the West Pakistan Family Court Act, 1964 clearly goes to show that an appeal against the judgment of a Family Court, except in the case where it is presided over by a District Judge or an Additional District Judge would lie before the District Court. In view of this position appeal preferred before this Court is not maintainable and accordingly it is dismissed. It will be open for the appellant to file his appeal in accordance with law before the District Court, Dadu. Q.M.H./M.A.K./I‑51/K Appeal dismissed.
