Judgment & Decree

GHULAM SARWAR KORAI, J.

F.I.R. in Crime No. 209 of 2006 for the offence under sections 147/148/149/511/506-B/447/ 337-H(2), P.P.C. was registered at Police Station Sachal, Karachi. The case is pending in the Court of learned Vth Judicial Magistrate (Malir) Karachi, therein Application under section 249-A, Cr.P.C. was filed but the same was dismissed. That order was challenged in the Criminal Revision Application before learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge, (Malir) Karachi and Criminal Revision Application was dismissed on 22-10-2009 by directing the trial Court to decide the matter within 2 months and those orders are impugned before this Court in the present Criminal Miscellaneous Application. Admittedly, trial Court is competent to acquit the accused at any stage, if the charge is groundless but in the present case trial Court was directed by the Revision Court to conclude the trial within 2 months by giving chance to the complainant to produce the witnesses, thus the order passed by the Revisional Court is proper as every one may be given chance to produce their evidence in support of their case and filing application under sections 249-A, Cr.P.C. and 265-K, Cr.P.C. for the acquittal of the accused on the ground that the charge is groundless on the basis of material collected by the police during the investigation is actually shortcut method, therefore, I find no merits in the Criminal Miscellaneous Application, consequently this Criminal Miscellaneous Application is dismissed. H.B.T./G-27/K Application dismissed.
