Judgment & Decree
KHALIL-UR-REHMAN RAMDAY, J.
For reasons stated in the application, C.M.A. No.1902-L of 2002 is allowed and the Civil Petition No.2016-L of 1999 is restored to its original number. (2). The petitioner, who is an Advocate by profession and who appears in person, has no objection to the hearing of this petition today. (3). The petitioner is in litigation with the respondents with respect to a house about which petitioner filed a suit in which he secured an interim injunction which was subsequently recalled. The appeal filed by the petitioner to seek the said relief was dismissed and in the meantime the petitioner initiated proceedings under section 145, Cr.P.C. before a First Class Magistrate with respect to the same property. The said learned Magistrate took cognizance of the matter and proceeded with the same and ultimately refused to intervene after finding that during the subsistence of the civil proceedings regarding the same house he could not continue for proceedings under section 145, Cr.P.C. especially when no apprehension of any breach of peace had been established. A learned Additional Sessions Judge, however, set aside the order of the learned Magistrate which led the present respondents' party to the Lahore High Court with Writ Petition No.11471 of 1995 which petition was allowed as a result whereof the appellate judgment was set aside. (4). Hence this petition. (5). The petitioner has not been able to show any illegality in the impugned judgment of the Lahore High Court. He has not been able to show as to how the criminal proceedings could be permitted to be made a substitute for the civil proceedings in the matter of determination of the civil rights of the parties and how the petitioner could be permitted to secure a relief from a criminal Court which had been denied to him by a Civil Court. It is not denied before us that for the last ten years no untoward incident had taken place between the parties and according to the petitioner even his civil suit had become infructuous and stood disposed of as such without any decree or judgment in favour of the petitioner. (6). Having thus examined all aspects of the matter, we find no merit in this petition which is accordingly dismissed. Leave refused. S.A.K./M-243/SC Leaverefused.
