JUDGE.

However, both the petitions were disposed of vide order dated

26.9.2001. Copy of order is Annexure “P”.

10. That during the last month, the respondent No. 4 raided the
residence and place of business of petitioner for many times.
The petitioner explored the matter and found that on the
opinion given by the respondent No. 5, the learned respondent
No. 6 granted the permission for investigation; and in due
course of the investigation the respondent No. 4 obtained non-
bailable warrants on 8.1.2002 and then obtained permission

11. That the F.I.R. No. 323/2000 dated 26.8.2000 under section
381-A, added offences 420/468/471 P.P.C. registered at Police
Station Gaggo (Vehari), opinion of respondent No. 5 and
orders dated 8.1.2002 & 15.1.2002 requested by respondent
No. 4 and passed by respondent No. 6 are liable to be quashed
interalia on the following: -

GROUNDS

a) That no occurrence has been happened and the case is

prima facie false on its face.

b) That as per own version of respondent No. 2, no vehicle

was present at the time of occurrence within the
territorial jurisdiction of P.S. Gaggo, so, the case is a
concocted story.

c) That after the verification of the particulars of both the

vehicles, addition of offences became redundant.

d) That there is concealment of facts on the part of

respondent No. 2, even the behaviour of respondent
No. 2 is contemptuous and liable to be prosecuted.

e) That the written statement filed by the respondent No. 2

in the civil court is quite different from the stand taken
in the F.I.F., as well as in application before
E.T.O./Motor Registration Authority.

f) That in the written statement of the respondent No. 2

challenged his version and categorically admitted that
he sold the said vehicle to the petitioner in lieu of
Rs. 590,000/-. Out of this consideration, the respondent
No. 2 had received a sum of Rs. 186,000/- and
delivered the possession of the said vehicle to the
petitioner and Rs. 404,000/- are still outstanding against
the petitioner. This admission of respondent No. 2 itself
is enough to make the case in hand to be of a civil
nature.
 g) That criminal proceedings are initiated in a civil matter
illegally and unlawfully, just to pressurise the petitioner
and others nominated in the F.I.R.

h) That the opinion given by respondent No. 5 is arbitrary,

capricious and fanciful in the given circumstances.

i) That the proceedings initiated by respondent No. 4

having no value in the eyes of law, particularly in the
presence of a conclusion on the file that no occurrence,
whatsoever ever took place as stated in the F.I.R.

j) That orders dated 8.1.2002 and 15.1.2002 respectively

passed by the respondent No. 6 are a result of non-
reading and mis-reading of the facts on the file,
especially when both the requests brought before
respondent No. 6 by respondent No. 4 were not duly
forwarded by any Inspector (Legal) of the Court. Both
the orders were passed in haste and without application
of judicial mind.

k) That the petitioner is bonafide purchaser from

Muhammad Iqbal Javed and involved in this case under
the malafide intention and ulterior motive.

g) That there is sufficient documentary evidence on the

file to prove the petitioner and others that they had not
committed any offence.

h) That the respondent No. 2 has roots in the bureaucracy

and police. By taking the benefits of his relations, the
respondent No. 2 is causing illegal and unlawful
harassment to the petitioner.

12. That the petitioner has left with no other adequate, alternate,
efficacious and speedy remedy except to invoke the
Constitutional jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court. Hence, this
petition.
 In view of the above submissions, it is
respectfully prayed that the case F.I.R.
No. 223/2000 dated 26.8.2000 U/s 381-A at P.S.
Gaggo District Vehari, opinion of respondent No.
5 and orders dated 8.1.2002 & 15.1.2002 may
please be quashed in the interest of justice.
It is further prayed that any order,
direction, writ or relief which this Hon’ble Court
deems fit, may graciously be awarded to meet the
ends of justice.
