Judgment & Decree

Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898)

S.156 Police rules,1934, R 25.1-- --Investigation--Allegations levelled against Police Officials found false after examining witnesses and case recommended for cancellation--Contention of the complainant that neither the offenders were arrested nor Investigating Officer acted in accordance with law because they happened to be Police Officials, held of no avail in circumstances. M. Farani Bar-at-Law for Petitioner. Through this constitutional petition, Inayat Ullah Chaudhry petitioner wants the Court to direct the police to investigate into the F.I.R No. 303/87 registered at P.S. Misri Shah, Lahore ran 7-10-1987 under various sections of Pakistan Penal Code against Muhammad Akram Cheema Inspector and 18 other Police officials, in accordance with law. The main grievance of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the police after having registered the case against the police officials has not acted in accordance with the police rules and have not arrested the culprits simply because they are police officials. On 20-12-1987 I had directed DSP Naulakha to record the statements of the witnesses who may be produced before him by the petitioner/ complainant and act in accordance with Police Rules. Thereafter the DSP recorded the statements of the witnesses produced by the complainant/petitioner. The DSP has found the case of the petitioner to be false and has recommended for the cancellation of the same. 2. Since the DSP after thorough investigation has found the allegations levelled by the petitioner against the police officials to be false and has recommended for the cancellation of the case, I feel that no further action can be is petition. The petitioner may file complaint against the police officials taken in this so advised. S.G.D./I-86/L Writ petition dismissed.
