Section:
(a) West Pakistan Redemption and Restitution of Mortgaged Lands Act (XIX of 1964)--Chap.II [Ss.3 to 9]---Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908), S.9---Redemption of mortgage---Suit for possession through redemption---Jurisdiction of Civil Court was not barred.

Since there is no express provision in the Act barring jurisdiction of the Civil Court to entertain suits for redemption of mortgages, the provision of section 9 of Civil Procedure Code remains unaffected and the Civil Courts have the jurisdiction to entertain and dispose of suits for redemption under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. (b) West Pakistan Redemption and Restitution of Mortgaged Lands AM (XIX of 1964)-- ----Chap. III [Ss.10 to 17]---Restitution of mortgage---Procedure to be adopted by mortgagor for restitution. Chapter III of the Act deals with the restitution of mortgages which empowers the Collector to restitute subsisting mortgages not less than twenty years old or the…
