Mailk Muhammad Imtiaz Mahal for Petitioner. Najeeb Faisal Chaudhary, A.A.-G. Contends that the petitioner had married Zulfiqar co-accused vide Nikahnama dated 31-10-2002 and a case was registered vide F. I.R No.42 dated 5-2-2003 stating therein the abduction of the petitioner by Zulfiqar, co-accused on 8-1-2002, therefore, it has been prayed that the said F.I.R. be ordered to be quashed. As the contentions raised by the learned counsel require factual inquiry and collecting of evidence, therefore, I am not persuaded to quash the F.I.R. The petitioner should join the investigation and the Investigating Officer is directed to record the version of the petitioner correctly and also receive documentary as well as oral evidence the petitioner intends to produce in her defence.
