In this respect Suit No.729 of 2005 and 814 of 2005 are pending in this Court.

The Police Officer who are present in Court have categorically stated that they are not a party to the litigation between the parties and they are not taking the side of any of the parties to the litigation. S.P. Mr. Irshad Ali Raza has filed his reply, wherein under paragraph 7, he has stated that F.I.R. No. 220 of 2008, under sections 384/34, P.P.C. was registered at Police Station Manghopir on 15-7-2008, on the complaint of one Mono alias Munawar. The D.S.P. who is present today has informed the Court that they are investigating the matter and no evidence has been found against any culprit and as soon as any evidence will be found they will arrest him and will recover property and will proceed according to law. But, since no evidence has been found no progress has been made they have not located any culprits as well as the case property. At this juncture, learned counsel for the petitioner states that he will send witnesses at the Police Station, who will help the Investigating Officer for Investigation.
