Mr. Nasir Ali Rajput, Advocate
for Applicant.
Syed
Sardar Ali Shah, D.P.G.
---------****----------
Through the instant Criminal Misc. Application, the
applicant has impugned the Order dated 15.11.2021 passed by learned Additional
Sessions Judge-III (MCTC)/Ex-Officio Justice of Peace Naushehro Feroze, who
dismissed the Criminal Miscellaneous Application u/s 22-A (6) (i) Cr.P.C
bearing Criminal M.A No. 4422/2021 filed by the applicant for registration of
FIR, hence the applicant filed the instant Criminal Misc. Application.
2. Learned
counsel for the applicant submits that the application filed by applicant under
section 22-A B Cr.P.C for registration of FIR was dismissed on the ground that
when the cheque was presented in concerned bank which was returned for the
reasons that signature of the account holder was different from specimen
signature but actually the cheque was issued by the proposed accused being
payment of wheat which was sold out by the applicant to proposed accused as
such he prays the impugned order of Ex-officio Justice of peace may be set
aside and the directions may be given to SHO for registration of FIR against
proposed accused.
3. On the other hand Mr. Muhammad Achar
Panwhar Advocate files power on behalf of respondent No.4 Meer Muhammad who was
shown as one of the proposed accused in Criminal Misc. Application. He as well
as learned Additional Prosecutor General have supported the impugned order and seeks
dismissal of instant Criminal Misc. application.
4. I have heard learned counsel for the applicant,
learned Addl.P.G and have scanned the material available on record. From the perusal of record it reflects that
applicant claims that he has sold out wheat to the proposed accused and in lieu
thereof proposed accused had issued cheque of Rs. 46,00,000/- of UBL Branch
Mithiani but when the cheque was presented before the concerned Bank on due
date, the same could not be passed due to insufficient balance in the account
of proposed accused. Furthermore report has been called from DSP Complaint
Rederessal Cell Naushehro Feroze who in his report submitted that there is
transaction terms between the parties due to which proposed accused Waqar given
five cheques to applicant, the same was dishonoured by the Bank. The memo of
bank which was presented in the Bank Al-Habib on 13.10.2021 which was returned
for the reasons that signature of
account holder was differing from specimen signature, thus it appears that
dishonestly cheque was not issued to applicant. The dispute between the parties
appears to be of transaction of amount as such civil litigation is also pending
before the court of learned Senior Civil Judge-I Naushehro Feroze and applicant
wants to convert his business dispute into criminal litigation and has filed
the instant petition to involve the proposed accused in criminal litigation. In
these circumstances it appears that there is no any illegally and infirmity in
the impugned order passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge-III/ Ex-officio
Justice of Peace Naushehro Feroze through his impugned order and same does not
requires any interference, therefore the instant Criminal Misc. Application stands
dismissed.
