They broke all the articles available there and valuable articles along-with licensed weapons were taken away. They also proceeded towards the Gohsha-e-Darood where day and night Darood-e-Pak recited only, they did not pay any regard to the Holy Religious Place and made fire shorts there. They snatched purse and mobiles from the ladies and one of the closest worker of Shahbaz Sharif namely GULLU BUTT under the cover of police broke the vehicles of private persons and visiotors. He broke the wind screens, side mirrors and also took the valuable articles from the vehicles. DIG Operations and SP Model Town, Lahore, during this operation, several times embraced the Gullu Butt and appreciated him.

2. That, the motive behind this action and occurrence is that Quaid-e-Tahreek Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri has announced 10-POINTS AGENDA for the welfare of poor, helpless and needy people of Pakistan and for the constitutional implementation of this Agenda he was likely to come Pakistan on 23^rd June, 2014. the cruel rulers were confused and they delivered a serious message to Quaid-e-Tahreek by this murderous assault and harassment. It all has been designed in a premeditated manner by Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, Hamza Sharif, Rana Sana Ullah, Khawaja Saad Rafique, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, Pervaiz Rasheed, Abid Sher Ali, and Ch. Nisar who instructed to destroy the house of Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri and Idara Minjah-ul-Quran, they are all involved in this occurrence and murder of the innocent people as well as loss and damage to the property, police acted in excess of their lawful authority on the behest of these rulers just to please them and they have murdered innocent people. All this occurrence has been witnessed by injured persons Haroon Mahmood, Asim Kamboh, Muhammad Shakeel, Muhammad Ishaq, Mian Iftikhar Ahmad, Shabbir Mughal, Junaid, Ch. Sultan Mahmood, Muhammad Ahmad, Saeed Bhatti, Haji Farrukh, Meraj Din, Abdul Qayyum, Mazhar Hussain, Tahir Dogar, Ghulam Ali, Sakhawat Ali, Muhammad Ali Shahzad, Khawar, Rizwan, Hafiz Muhammad Razzaq, Muhammad Arsalan, Shoaib Ahmad, Muhammad Umar, Saif Ullah Qadri, Muhammad Sarwar, Muhammad Tahir, Altaf Elahi, Muhammad Shabbir, Ayehsa Kayani, Shakeel Ahmad Tahir, Muhammad Waqas, Shahbaz, Ikram Saeed, Meraj Din, Fareed Tufail, Munsif Ali, Arsalan Anjum, Liaqat Ali, Haroon Mahmood, Ali Hassan, Tahir Abbas, Nisar Abbas, Rimsha, Sher Mughal, Muhammad Sarwar, Hafiz Altaf, Muhammad Zubair, Touqeer-ul-Haq, Razia, Ch. Munir Hussain as well as other witnesses.

3. That the postmortem reports and MLC of the injured persons were kept secret. All this occurrence can also be witnessed through TV Channels and newspapers and their recordings is a sufficient evidence to establish that the Rulers of the State have misused their authority, made a state’s terrorist act with the help of police which has resulted into a harassment, threat and scene of insecurity. Respondent has also acted on the instructions of Mian Shahbaz Sharif and Rana Sana Ullah just to cover up the crimes and offences committed by them and he has lodged a false, fabricated and afterthought FIR of the incident.

4. That the petitioner being the administrator and eye witness of the occurrence also as being the aggrieved person preferred an application to the respondent for the registration of the criminal case against the accused/culprits which was received through police official vide diary No. 657-5B-FT/19-06-2014. Copy of the complaint/application is attached herewith as Annexure A.

5. That the Rizwan Qadir Hashmi, Inspector/SHO Police Station Faisal Town, Lahore, haphazardly registered a criminal case FIR No. 510/2014, dated 17-06-2014 (Annexure B) about the occurrence which is a result of fabrication and concoction which has been made on the instructions of Mian Shahbaz Sharif and Rana Sana Ullah, whereas the respondent has tried to destroy the evidence and makeup is false case just to cover their illegal facts.

6. That from the contents of the application/complaint made by the petitioner a cognizable offence against the accused/culprits is made out, however in addition to that it is worth mentioning here that the legal heirs of deceased persons as well as they eye witnesses had sworn affidavits and have given the same to the petitioner/complainant in regard to the murderous assault by the accused and specifically witnesses for each murder and the relatives of the deceased who were present at the time of occurrence besides the statement of the inured persons. It is also worth mentioning here that legal heirs of the deceased are not satisfied with the registration of the FIR by the respondent vide FIR No. 510/2014 Police Station Faisal Town, Lahore, as they all felt that said FIR doesn’t reflect the true facts. This FIR has been registered at the instance of Police Officer who is also one the accused and his illegal and criminal acts has also been witnessed by the witnesses who have sworn affidavits, legal heirs, of the deceased and witnesses are ready to get record their statements by disclosing the true facts of the incident, whereas the respondent and high-ups of the state as well as the high-ups of the police department are intended to destroy the evidence and over come the witnesses, hence the information subsequently given to the police officer which disclosed a different offence which is cognizable by the police, which is to be recorded by the police to bring the true facts on record in respect of an occurrence which is not truly reflected by the earlier FIR. It is an refusal by the respondent to record a genuine version of the same occurrence by misusing his lawful authority.

7. That the police in the present case is following the directions of the high-up of the Province who are directly monitoring and directing this illegal and unlawful act of the police whereby number of the innocent people have been murdered by the police. It is worth mentioning here that one of the closest worker of the ruling party namely Gullu Butt acted illegally along-with the police during this illegal and unlawful action and caused serious damage to the properties whereas he was also indulged in looting of the property of the public as well as the visitors of Idara Minhaj-ul-Quran and number of vehicles were destroyed by the said Gullu Butt but the police just to give him a room to escape from the clutches of law also lodged a fabricated and afterthought FIR No. 511/2014 U/S 506/427, 353/186-PPC adding all the bailable offences just to please high-ups of the province. Copy of the said FIR is attached herewith as Annexure C. it is worth noted that this FIR has been designed just only to frustrate the actual case which is reported through the written application by the present petitioner, hence it is crystal clear that the police high-ups as well as the respondent is trying to manipulate the situation by lodging the different FIRs of the same incident.

8. That the petitioner is aggrieved by the act of the respondent as the petitioner preferred an application to the respondent against the accused containing the information for the commission of a cognizable offence but no action in furtherance of the said application has been taken by the respondent according to law.

9. That the respondent on receiving the such application under legal obligation to endorse the same in the relevant register under section 154 Cr.PC and to proceed according to law against the accused persons mentioned in the application but the respondent is in-league with the accused person who are very influential and the respondent to perform his duty according to law and procedure.

10. That law clearly states that incase of an information about the commission of a cognizable offence, the law is to be put into motion by endorsing the same in the relevant register by registering a criminal case, but the reluctance of the respondent is causing a serious loss and damage to the petitioner and it is just and proper directions to the respondent to register a criminal case according to the application of the petitioner from which, a case of commission of cognizable offences is clearly made out.

11. That the insertion of the subsection 6 of Section 22-A Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 by the Ordinance No. CXXXI of 2002 as following:---

(6) An ex-officio Justice of the Peace may issue appropriate directions to the police authorities concerned on a complaint regarding--

(i) non-registration of a criminal case;

(ii) transfer of investigation from one police officer to another; and

(iii) neglect, failure or excess committed by a police authority in relation to its functions and duties."

12. That the latest view of the Supreme Court is that the jurisdiction which be exercised by an Ex-Officio Justice of Peace under this subsection is to examine whether the information disclosed buy the applicant did constitute cognizable offence and it did then to direct the concerned SHO to record an FIR without going into the veracity of the information in question.

13. That by the act of the respondent the petitioner is left with no other adequate and efficacious remedy except to prefer this petition.

In view of the submissions made about, it is therefore, most respectfully prayed that this application may very kindly be allowed and the respondent may very kindly be directed to register a criminal case according to the contents of the application of the petitioner and be directed to act in accordance with law.

Any other relief which this Honourable Court deems fit and proper may also be awarded.

Muhammad Jawad Hamid Vs SHO Police Station Faisal Town, Lahore

Present: Mr. Mansoor-ur-Rehman Khan Afridi, Advocate, learned counsel for petitioner

Mr. Azhar Hussain Malik, learned DPP for the state.

ORDER:

Petitioner has submitted the instant application for the direction to the respondent to register the FIR on the application for the petition.

Arguments heard, record perused.

At the very outset, the learned DPP has raised preliminary objections that the case FIR No. 510/14 has already been registered about the occurrence which has been narrated by the petitioner in his application submitted to the respondent and there is no lawful justification about the issuance of any direction for the registration of FIR. The learned DPP has supplemented his arguments with the case law “PLD 2010 Supreme Court 691, (2001) 6 Supreme Court Cases ISI 181, (2010) 12 Supreme Court Cases 254, 214 MLD 1033 and 2005 MLD 1114.

Conversely, the learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the case FIR No. 510/14 has been registered on the application of Rizwan Qadir, Hashmi, SHO, PS Faisal town, Lahore with mala fide intention in order to save actual culprits who has brutally murdered fourteen innocent persons beside injuring a large number of people through indiscriminate firing. Learned counsel for the petitioner further argued that registration of the second FIR is not only lawful but it is mandatory in the peculiar circumstances on this case. The learned counsel has supplemented his arguments with the case law “2001 SCMR 1556”, “2002 PCr LJ 247”, “PLD 2007 Lahore 370”, “1993 MLD 2059”, and “2010 Pc RLJ 89”.

I have considered the respective contentions in the light of the principles laid down in the supra case law and have reached the conclusion that the registration of the second FIR is not barred as in the case of “Wajid Ali Khan Durrani and other Vs Government of Sindh and others (2001 SCMR 1556). August Supreme Court of Pakistan has observed that,---

“Widows of the deceased were not satisfied with the two previously registered FIRs as they had felt that said FIRs did not reflect the true facts--- First FIR was registered at the instance of the police officer who was suspected by the widows of being accused himself in the case--- Second FIR was registered at the instance of private one of the widows who was still in police custody--- Contention of widows that two FIRs registered by the police did not transpire true facts, was no unreasonable--- Widows of the deceased filed constitution petition before the Lahore High Court seeking direction to the police concerned to record another FIR disclosing the true facts of the incident--- High Court accepted the petition and directed the police to record third FIR as prayed for by the widows holding that no hard and fast rule was that another FIR could not be registered of different versions given by the aggrieved party of the same occurrence--- Validity--- If information subsequently given to a police officer which disclosed a different offence was also cognizable by the police, then unless it was mere amplification of the first version, it must be recorded by the police”.

Supra observation of the August Supreme Court of Pakistan reveals that if a subsequent information given to the police officer discloses different offence, which was also cognizable by the police then unless it is mere amplification of the first version, it must be recorded by the police. The complainant of case FIR 510/14 is a police officer and he has also been cited as one of the accused in the application of the petitioner.

Perusal of the FIR No. 510/14 and the application of the petitioner reveals that the version of the petitioner is not the repetition of the contents of the supra FIR. Petitioner has leveled very serious allegations against the proposed accused that they in connivance with each other committed the murder of fourteen innocent persons and injured a huge number of people. It is further observed that the contention of learned DPP that the second FIR cannot be registered looses its substance as the local police has already recorded the second FIR 511/14, dated 08-06-2014 against one Gulu Butt who allegedly participated in the same occurrence which is subject matter of FIR No. 510/14 and the application of the petitioner.

Learned DPP has further argued that in case FIR No. 510/14 the concerned authority has already constituted the Joint Investigation Team and the petitioner should join the investigation to record his version and if the petitioner is not satisfied with the investigation of the Joint Investigation Team, then the registration of the FIR on the application of the petitioner would be futile exercise. With regard to this contention the learned DPP, it is observed that the version contained in case FIR No. 510/14 is ex-parte version as in the application of the petitioner, which he had submitted to the SHO, Faisal Town, Lahore, through diary No. 657-5B-FI absolutely other set of allegation and facts about the disputed occurrence in which fourteen innocent persons lost their lives, and a large number were injured has been provided. The petitioner is admittedly the Director Administration of Minhaj-ul-Quran the place of occurrence and as per his version a number of activists and students belonging to Minhaj-ul-Quran have been murdered by the proposed accused, therefore, the petitioner also becomes the aggrieved person.

In these circumstances, the respondent has not discharged his legal obligations as he should have registered the FIR on the application of the petitioner. It is further observed that in the case FIR 510/14m, it is absolutely not mentioned that whether any person had died during the occurrence or not and this fact by itself expose the worth of this FIR.

In view of the above discussion the application in hand is hereby accepted and respondent is directed to register the FIR on the application of the petitioner and then to proceed in accordance with law in the investigation. File be consigned to the record room after its due completion and compilation.
