Mr.Noor Ahmed Chadhar Advocate for petitioner alongwith petitioner.

Mr.Agha Athar Hussain A.A.G.

---------

In this matter the petitioner prayed that that the official respondents may be directed not to harass the petitioner, her husband and relatives in any manner whatsoever in nature with a further prayer that the respondent No.1 may be directed to register the FIR of the petitioner against the private respondents.

Learned A.A.G. waives notice of this petition, copy has been supplied to him and he undertakes that the proper protection will be provided to the petitioner.

The learned counsel for the petitioner further prays that the respondent No.2, who is the SHO of P.S.Ghotki may be directed to lodge the complaint of the petitioner as the alleged offence has been committed in the limits of P.S. Ghotki. So far as the directions to the respondents No.2 is concerned. The learned A.A.G. argued that since the official respondents will provide the protection to the petitioner, she may go and lodge FIR at P.S.Ghotki, and in case of refusal, she may apply under Section 22-A Cr.P.C. to which the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the life of the petitioner is at stake, as the respondents No.3 to 17 have already declared her as ‘Karo Kari’, therefore, much time will be lapsed by applying the Sessions Judge u/s 22-A & 22-B Cr.P.C., therefore, in the interest of justice, respondent No.2 may be directed to record the statement of petitioner and if any cognizable case is made out lodge FIR against the private respondents.

The request of the learned counsel for the petitioner seems to be reasonable. Let the learned A.A.G. is directed to provide due protection to the petitioner as and when she will approach to the office to learned A.A.G. and after providing necessary protection, she will go to Ghotki for lodging of FIR and if on the basis of her statement, any cognizable case is made out, the respondent No.2 will register FIR.

The petition alongwith listed applications stands disposed of in the above terms.
