Representation
- Shamim Abbas 8okhari for Petitioner.
- Rana Muhammad Arshad, Addl. A.-G. for Respondents. .
- 4. Rana Muhammad Arshad, Additional Advocate-General appeared in this case who submitted that this Court is not the proper forum to hold an enquiry into all the allegations levelled by the petitioner against the police and that of the police against the petitioner's brother. The proper course is that when the challan against the accused is being put up in the Court the petitioner or the accused may move under section 249-A, Cr.P.C. for his acquittal.
- 5. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Additional Advocate-General and have also gone through the record very minutely. I find that the police is alleging the involvement of Ejaz Hussain son of Shah Beg brother of the petitioner being involved in three theft cases; the detail of which has been given in the report submitted by the police. The High Court while sitting in Constitutional petition cannot probe into the allegations levelled by both sides. The petitioner if so advised may move the learned trial Court under section 249-A, Cr.P.C. for his acquittal if there is no evidence with the prosecution to proceed against him. The trial Court shall decide the application strictly on merits and in accordance with law.
