Legal Question in Family Law in Pakistan

Dear Sir,

Please let me know that what is the difference between a maintenance decree issued by competent court and maintenance certificate issued by district council? Do both have same value/same execution or same punishment in the eyes of law? I heard that in maintenance case, punishment can only be given with court decree and maintenance certificate issued by district council has no power to punish in imprisonment? I mean I heard that district councils (termed as re-conciliation councils) has got no power to seize the property or to put husband behind the bars until a proper maintenance decree is issued by family court. Is it true?

Please reply

maintenance certificate can be enforced through arrears of land..

even otherwise, that certificate would be helpful in maintenance proceedings.
