Irshad Ali Shah, J;- The applicant by way of instant Criminal Miscellaneous Application under Section 561-A, Cr.P.C has impugned order dated 16.01.2019 passed by learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge/Ex-officio Justice of Peace, Naushahro Feroze, whereby  his application for issuance of direction against SHO Police Station Mithiani for recording of FIR against private respondents was dismissed.

2.                    It is alleged by the applicant that the private respondent by violating the terms and conditions of lease agreement in connection with installment of Mobilink Tower created the problem for the applicant and his Company  by committing theft and shutting down the Tower, for that he approached SHO P.S Mithiani to record his FIR, it was not recorded, he then by way of filing an application u/s 22-A and B Cr.P.C sought for direction against SHO P.S Mithiani to record his FIR, it was dismissed by learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge/Ex-Officio Justice of Peace, Naushahro Feroce, which is impugned by the applicant before this Court.

3.                    It is contended by the learned counsel for the applicant that the allegation made by the applicant obviously constitutes the cognizable offence. In that situation, according to him learned Ex-Officio Justice of Peace ought not to have refused issuance of direction against SHO P.S Mithiani to record FIR of the applicant. By contending so, he sought for direction against SHO P.S Mithiani to record FIR of the applicant.

4.                    Learned DPG for the State and learned counsel for the private respondent have sought for dismissal of the instant application by supporting the impugned order by contending that the applicant in order to deprive the private respondent of his salary is intending to involve him in the false case malafidely.

5.                    I have considered the above arguments and perused the record.

6.                    As per police report which was furnished before learned Ex-Officio Justice of Peace there is dispute between the parties over matter of Mobilink Tower and its Caretaker. Such report is not rebutted by the applicant by way of filing his objections. In that situation, the logical conclusion which could be drawn would be that it is accepted by the applicant and the applicant in order to satisfy his civil dispute with the private respondent is intending to involve him in this case falsely and malafidely.
7.                    In case of Rai Ashraf and others vs. Muhammad Saleem Bhatti and others (PLD 2010 SC-691), it has been held by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan that;

“ Validity---Dispute between parties was over such house---Applicant had secured restrain, order against respondent from Civil Court, and for its violation, he had a remedy before Civil Court---Applicant had an alternate remedy to file private complaints against respondent---Applicant had filed another application before Ex-officio Justice of Peace/Additional Sessions Judge to restrain public functionaries from taking action against under Lahore Development Authority Act, 1975, Rules and Regulations framed thereunder---Application for registration of FIR had been filed with malafide intention.”.

 

8.                    In view of above, it could be concluded safely that learned Additional Sessions Judge/Ex-Officio Justice of Peace while dismissing the application of the applicant by way of impugned order has committed no wrong which could be made right by this Court. Consequently, the instant Criminal Miscellaneous Application is dismissed.
