Since islamic law is based on principles of quran, hadith, sunna, ijma & qiyas, and is not codified there are no sections. but judges do normally refer to Mulla on Mohammedan Law (edited by J.Hidayatullah) which has presented everything in form of Sections. Refer that book or ask your advocate to do the same.

Ex parte is definately permissible in all judicial proceedings.
