H.C.A 177/2019 Nazar Mohammad Bozdar V/S Muhammad Ishrat & others Sindh High Court, Karachi [SHC Citation: 2024- SHC-KHI - 222555 ]Section 5(3) of the Contempt of Court Ordinance, 2003 also states that ???In the case of a contempt having been committed, or alleged to have been committed, by a company, the responsibility thereof shall extend to the persons in the company, directly or indirectly, responsible for the same, who shall also be liable to be punished accordingly.??? Therefore, in our view, before the matter could be fixed for framing charge, there had to be some discussion as to which of the alleged contemnors was prima facie responsible. It is the case of some of the Appellants that they were posted to SITE for brief periods and could not be held responsible for acts committed before or after their posting, which aspect has not been considered in the impugned order.Read more

[SHC Citation: 2024- SHC-KHI - 222247 ]Section 491 of the Cr.P.C. empowers the High Court to issue writs of habeas corpus, which are used to challenge the legality of a person's detention.

[SHC Citation: 2024- SHC-KHI - 221963 ]We have noticed that the Judicial Magistrate has been conferred with wide powers to take cognizance of an offense not only when he receives information about the commission of offense from a third person but also when he has knowledge or even suspicion that the offense has been committed. The Magistrate has the power to independently review a police report, even if it concludes that no offense was committed. They can disagree with the police's opinion and take cognizance of the offense, ordering further investigation or issuing process to the accused. The Magistrate's decision is based on their assessment of the facts, not solely on the police's opinion. The terms "charge sheet" and "final report" are not formally defined in the Code. However, they are commonly used in police rules to refer to reports filed under Section 170 Cr.P.C. Reports filed under Section 169, where there's insufficient evidence, are often termed "referred charge," "final report," or "summary." 16. In view of the above we, therefore, dispose of these Criminal Miscellaneous Applications along with the pending application(s), with direction to the trial court to proceed with the matter, frame the charge, and culminate the Criminal proceedings in its logical conclusion within a reasonable time.Read more

National Accountability Bureau (2017 SCMR 1340) has provided certain guidelines which need to be adhered to by the F.I.A. while probing the cases against the Housing Societies. 6.

[SHC Citation: 2024- SHC-KHI - 221733 ]To apply for exhumation of the dead body under Section 176(2) of the Code a Magistrate's satisfaction that exhumation is necessary to determine the cause of death. This discretion should be exercised cautiously, even if the request comes from a stranger, as long as reasonable circumstances or suspicion exists. The purpose is to initiate criminal proceedings if necessary. Close relatives may be involved in homicides, so their objections alone should not be a barrier to disinterment if other circumstances warrant it. The case of Muhammad Ramzan and others v. The State and another (1987 SCMR 272) supports disinterment even after a year to determine the cause of death. 8. Primarily, the father has the right to know his loved one's true cause of death. As the Supreme Court upheld in Ameer Afzal Baig v. Ahsan Ullah Baig, disinterment orders based on suspicion are valid. Even after burial, the right to investigate the cause of death exists. The law allows such requests, even from strangers to ensure proper investigation and to satisfy concerns about potential foul play.Read more

The Supreme Court emphasized the importance of equal protection before the law, due process, and fair trial, rights that are often denied in jirga proceedings. This judgment is a significant step towards upholding women's rights and ensuring that justice is administered through legal channels. It is crucial to continue to monitor the implementation of this decision and to address the social and cultural factors that contribute to the persistence of harmful practices. In this regard, FIR can be lodged against the holding of illegal jirga by the chieftain and all others who participated in the Jirga in violation of the 2019 Supreme Court judgment. This judgment declared the jirga system as illegal and against the fundamental rights of citizens. Law enforcement agencies are obligated to take action against those who organize or participate in such jirgas. Let at the first instance, FIR be lodged by the SSP concerned and bring the culprits into justice without fail. 8. So far as FIR No.412 of 2024 of PS Malir Cantt, District Malir, Karachi registered under Section 365-B PPC is concerned the same is hereby quashed and such summary report be submitted before the concerned Magistrate for disposal of the case. He is directed to take action against all concerned police officials who failed and neglected to perform their duties to curb this menace. 9.

Sara & Another V/S Province of Sindh & Others Sindh High Court, Karachi [SHC Citation: 2024- SHC-KHI - 221629 ]We are not in agreement with him on the premise that the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act of 1939 recognizes the age of 16 as the legal age for marriage. Section 13 of the Muslim Family Law Ordinance, 1961 reads as under:- (13. Amendment of the dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act, 1939 (VIII of 1939).In the Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act, 1939 (VIII of 1939) in section 2:- 1. After clause (ii) the following new clause (ii-a) shall be inserted, namely:- ???(ii-a) that the husband has taken any additional wife??? (b) In clause (vii), for the word ???fifteen??? the word ???sixteen??? shall be substituted). 8. According to Mulla's Principles of Muhammadan Law, a marriage of a minor performed by her father or grandfather is valid unless she repudiates it before 18. Even a marriage arranged by other guardians is valid unless the minor repudiates it on attaining puberty. At this juncture, it would be significant to refer to the case of Mauj Ali v. Syed Safder Hussain (1970 SCMR 437), wherein the Child Marriage Restraint Act 1929 was an issue while deciding such controversy by the Supreme Court. 9. The competent court of law is required to see the validity of the marriage carefully, considering the family's honor. If the information is found to be false, the family should not be unnecessarily harmed. However, as petitioner No.1 has made a statement before the court, no further action is required against the couple, and they should be protected, for the simple reason that adults have the right to marry whomever they choose, regardless of caste or religion. Parents may disapprove but cannot resort to threats or violence. Police authorities must protect such couples and prosecute those who harass or threaten them. However, this does not affect the legal rights of the couple or any underage issue before the court, if any, is pending. 10. The police official present in court must submit a summary report to the magistrate, who will decide the case based on the petitioner's statement. The police should protect the couple if they seek help. No further action should be taken against the couple, and their family should not harass them. 11. In view of the statement of the parties, the private respondents are directed to furnish an indemnity bond of Rs.500,000/- each before the Nazir of this Court for the aforesaid purpose 12.

Besides the above, the liability of the present applicant or charges leveled against him could only be determined by the trial Court after recording and evaluating the evidence. It is also a settled principle of law that at the bail stage deeper appreciation of the merit of the case cannot be undertaken and only a tentative assessment of the material available is to be made. The record shows that the applicant/accused is not a previous convict or hardened criminal.

However, the statement of one accused can be relied upon if there is some other independent evidence corroborating such a confessional statement. The principle ingrained in Article 43 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat is also applied at the bail stage and the confessional statement of an accused can lead the court to form a tentative view about prima facie involvement of his co-accused in the commission of the alleged offence.

Cr.Bail 784/2024 MUHAMMAD TAUQEER S/O NAZIM HUSSAIN V/S THE STATE Sindh High Court, Karachi [SHC Citation: 2024- SHC-KHI - 221421 ]It is by now well settled that an accused can maintain a subsequent bail application, at the post-arrest stage, only on the strength of fresh ground, accrued after dismissal of his first plea. In the case reported by The State through Advocate General N.W.F.P. vs. Zubair Ahmed and others (PLD 1986 SC 173) the Supreme Court has held that second or the subsequent bail application to the same Court shall lie only on a fresh ground, which did not exist at the time when the first bail application was made, however in the present case learned counsel for the applicant has pointed out fresh grounds which were not available to the applicant at the time of filing of his first bail application. He nevertheless emphasized that directions given by this Court while disposing of the bail application of the applicant have not been complied with, as such, the applicant is entitled to bail on this ground alone. I am unable to subscribe to such submission of the learned counsel for the applicant. Non-compliance with the directions issued to the trial Court to examine witnesses within some specified time cannot be fatal in terms of the ratio of the judgment rendered by the Supreme Court in the case of Nisar Ahmed vs. The State and others (PLD 2016 SC 11). However, in the present case, the applicant has shown multiple fresh grounds for consideration of his request for grant of the bail bail application. The case against the applicant prima facie is based on two versions due to the complainant's negation of the story put forward by the police and the affidavit of no objection beside the PW Abdul Ghaffar has narrated a different story including the statement of PC Warid Ali and SIP Muzzafar Ali. The accused's previous bail was denied, but new evidence now warrants reconsideration of his bail plea. Therefore, under such circumstances, this court has left with no option but to release the applicant on post-arrest bail in the subject crime the trial court is still in chaos and the reasons assigned are not sufficient to keep the applicant behind the bar for an indefinite period for the simple reason that the Supreme Court has ruled that delays in trials violate the constitutional rights of the accused to liberty, fair trial, and dignity.Read more

This duty is separate from the subsequent investigation process. The failure to register an FIR can have serious consequences for victims and can hinder justice. Investigating officers must conduct impartial and honest investigations. They should follow the law and aim to bring the truth to light. If an FIR is not registered or a statement is not recorded, the aggrieved person can file an application under Section 22-A of the Cr.P.C. The Justice of Peace will then examine the application and pass an appropriate order.Read more

Sughran Bibi Vs. The Stte [PLD 2018 SC 595], the second FIR of the same incident was/is unwarranted. In a recent unreported case of Munawar Alam Khan Vs.

It further appears that injuries except for one falling u/s 337-F(vi) PPC (Ghair Jaifah Daimah), are bailable under the schedule of offenses while Section 337- F(vi) PPC, does not fall within the prohibitory clause of Section 497, Cr.

There is no complaint of misusing the concession of pre-arrest bail granted to the respondents by the trial Court. 7. There is no denial to the fact that the Supreme Court since long has issued guidelines wherein the details of the considerations for the grant of bail and cancellation whereof are highlighted. This Court while handing down a judgment reported as Shahid Arshad Vs.

131 . Cr.Bail 215/2024 Inayatullah & others V/S The State Sindh High Court, Circuit Court, Mirpur Khas [SHC Citation: 2024- - 221159 ]Bail before arrest is an extraordinary relief granted only in exceptional cases to protect innocent people from abuse of the law. It is not a substitute for post-arrest bail. The accused must show that their arrest is being sought for ulterior motives by the police to cause them irreparable harm. They must also establish that they have not done anything that would disqualify them from receiving this discretionary relief. The aforesaid ingredients of principles are missing in the present case as the facts obtained in the present case, are tentatively assessed which prima facie show that the alleged offense occurred on June 25, 2024, and was reported the same day. Police recorded witness statements, visited the scene, prepared injury reports, and collected medical evidence as well as empty shells of the crime weapon from the place of the incident. Charges of assault, criminal intimidation, and wrongful restraint were filed against them. A medical examination confirmed injuries consistent with charges of Section 337-F (III) of the Pakistan Penal Code as Ghyr-i-Jaifah Mutalahimah.Read more

It is well settled that while the court does not delve into a deep analysis of the evidence at this stage, the available materials, including the FIR, witness statements, and medical reports, support the prosecution's allegations. The delay in lodging the FIR is explained by the nature of the incident and the immediate medical attention required for the injured. There is no evidence of any malicious intent on the part of the complainant. The gravity of the charges and the potential for the applicants to influence witnesses or tamper with evidence, granting bail at this stage would not be appropriate. Therefore, the bail application is dismissed. The trial court is directed to examine the material witnesses within two months and if the charge is not framed the same shall be framed on the date so fixed by the trial court. The direction of this court shall not be ignored at all, which has serious repercussions.Read more

If the parents of the boy or girl do not approve of such inter-caste or inter-religious marriage the maximum they can do is they can cut off social relations with the son or the daughter, but they cannot give threats or commit or instigate acts of violence and cannot harass the person who undergoes such inter-caste or inter-religious marriage. We, therefore, direct that the administration/police authorities will see to it that if any boy or girl who is a major undergoes inter-caste or inter-religious marriage with a woman or man who is a major, the couple is not harassed by anyone nor subjected to threats or acts of violence, and anyone who gives such threats or harasses or commits acts of violence either himself or at his instigation, is taken to task by instituting criminal proceedings by the police against such persons and further stern action is taken against such persons as provided by law.

137 . Const. P. 827/2024 Mehboob Ali V/S Province of sindh & others Sindh High Court, Circuit Court, Mirpur Khas [SHC Citation: 2024- - 221105 ]The right to life, as guaranteed by Article 9 of the Constitution, extends to the right to livelihood. This means that the petitioner has the right to earn a living. However, a respondent department can terminate the services of the petitioner if he fails in all respects, but only if it is done under the law, and the termination of service if any must follow established legal procedures and cannot be arbitrary or unfair. We are also equally conscious of the legal position that illegally gotten things cannot operate as a bar nor lapse of time could be made a reason to declare an ???illegality??? as ???legality??? but a suspicion alone shall not be sufficient to escape the requirement of ???due process??? because it is not whims or fancy of an executive functionary to deprive one of his right due process alone. Therefore, the respondents were/are not legally justified to withhold the posting order/joining letter of petitioner except after due process particularly when the respondents do not dispute or deny his appointment letter. A departure from ???due process??? resulting in taking away or infringing a fundamental right will be sufficient to entertain such a petition.

The court underscored in [2003 YLR 400 Lahore-High-Court-Lahore] that Christian marriages in Pakistan are monogamous unions, setting them apart from Muslim marriages, which are seen as civil contracts. The Christian Marriage Act stringently prohibits polygamy, making any second marriage conducted without dissolving the first one void and punishable. At the same time, the legal validity of a marriage is largely determined by the religious backgrounds of the individuals involved, as is the second marriage of Mst. Sughran after converting to Islam.Read more

At this stage, we confronted him with the proposition that the issue of the salary of the petitioners, if any needs to be resolved at the end of the respondents' departments and this Court cannot decide the subject issue under Article 199 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973. However, at the same time, if the petitioners are working with the Government Departments, their salary issue must be resolved within a reasonable time, as this issue cannot be left unattended for an indefinite period. Learned A.A.G without filing comments, though notices have been issued to the respondents to put their defense, they failed to do so for the reason best known to him, submit that these matters are required to be resolved by the competent authority of the respondents if the cause of the petitioners still subsists.

P. 1114/2024 Khan Muhammad V/S Director General Agricultural Resaerch Sindh High Court, Circuit Court, Mirpur Khas [SHC Citation: 2024- - 221113 ]The details of F.R. 54 elucidate that in the situation where a dismissed government servant is reinstated, the revising or appellate authority may grant his pay to him for the period of his absence from duty. Seemingly, the letter in question refers to F.R. 54 (a), which emphasizes that if such a government servant is honorably acquitted, he shall be granted the full pay to which he would have been entitled if he had not been dismissed or removed, and, by an order to be separately recorded, any allowance of which he was in receipt before his dismissal or removal. In a case falling under clause (a), the period of absence from duty will be treated as a period spent on duty. According to the explanation attached to this Rule, the "revising authority" means the "authority" or "authorized Officer" as defined in the Government Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 1973, who passes the final order on the case and not the authority who passes an order on appeal. 7. Even otherwise, the details of F.R. 54 clarify that in the case of reinstatement of a dismissed or removed employee, only the revising or appellate authority may grant him his pay for the period of his absence from duty, and if he is honorably acquitted then, the full pay to which he would have been entitled to, and his period of absence from duty will be treated as a period spent on duty.Read more
