Judgment text as reported

Mst. PARVEEN ARA VS MUHAMMAD HANIF General and special law---Scope---Specific or detailed provisions of a legal instrument should prevail over more general or conflicting provisions---When provision of a general law and special law addresses same issue or matter, the general law is impliedly repealed to the extent that the special law applies---In determining whether a statute is special or general, the focal point of consideration should principally and fundamentally be the subject matter---In the exigency of deciphering the Legislative intent or in case of conflict, the rule of harmonious construction can be adopted to interpret both co-existing provisions in a manner that gives effect to both without rendering either ineffectual or out of order.
