Prior to this enactment three Codes held the field. First Code of 1859 (Act VIII of 1859) as amended in 1860, 1861 and 1874. Second Code of 1877 (Act X of 1877) as amended in 1878 and 1879 and the third Code of 1882 (Act XIV of 1882) as amended in 1882, 1883, 1892, 1894 and 1895. The code regulates civil proceedings involving the assertion or enforcement of civil rights as mentioned in (PLD 1970 S.C page-1). The provisions of the Code being procedural are intended to be interpreted liberally in the interest of adjudication of all the questions involved in a list and in order to avoid multiplicity of the proceedings. The inherent power of the Court should invariably be exercised generously and technical hurdles are always bypassed for consideration of effectual adjudication and inexpensive access to justice. (PLD-2002 SC-1111). The above mentioned three different civil laws are being implemented in the province of Balochistan. The people belonging to tribal society having their own tribal pockets and they are enjoying their customs and traditions of their tribe, which are still intact and being decided by the religious persons they mostly accept the decisions of Islamic Jurisprudence and normally matters are being amicably decided out of courts to avoid wasting of time, money and very chronic litigation. So, according to need of the time, the laws were changed, modified and amended by the rulers of the time. Above-mentioned civil laws having their own affects in the different places of Balochistan province. It means that people are accepting the same from the core of their hearts.
