Constitutional petition
Petitioner had sought quashing of order passed by Justice of Peace under S.22-A, Cr.P.C. on an application moved by respondent directing him to approach S.H.O. who would record petitioner's statement and further proceed in accordance with law
Grievance of petitioner was that said direction/order of Justice of Peace in fact amounted to directing him for the registration of case, whereas in the light of comments/report submitted by S.H.O., neither cognizable offence was made out nor such direction could have been issued by Justice of Peace without any material on record

Such direction, neither impliedly nor expressly could be taken as a direction for registration of case in all circumstances
Judgment & Decree
MUHAMMAD JEHANGIR ARSHAD, J.
The petitioner seeks quashment of order, dated 3-2-2007 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Multan exercising his jurisdiction as Justice of Peace under section 22-A, Cr.P.C. on an application moved by Shahzad Ahmad respondent No.3 directing him to approach S.H.O. who shall record petitioner's statement and further proceed in accordance with law.
2. The grievance of the petitioner is that the said direction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge/Justice of Peace in fact amounts to directing him for the registration of case whereas in the light of the comments/report submitted by the S.H.O. neither the cognizable offence is made out nor such direction could have been issued by the learned Additional Sessions Judge without any material on the record. To support his contention learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance on 2003 MLD 714.
3. The impugned order of learned Additional Sessions Judge dated 3-2-2007 has been perused. It only directs respondent No.3 to approach the S.H.O. who will record his statement and proceed in accordance with law and such direction neither impliedly nor expressly can be taken as a direction for registration of case in all circumstances. This petition, therefore, is not maintainable and is disposed of as such. H.B.T./I-24/L Petition dismissed.
