1. Station House Officer, Police Station Raiwind Lahore.

Respondent

PETITION UNDER SECTION 22-A 22-B CR.P.C. FOR

ISSUANCE OF DIRECTION TO THE
RESPONDENT TO REGISTER A CASE
AGAINST THE ACCUSED PERSON

1. That this petition is filed through Muhammad Rameez Zarar

s/o Muhammad Zarar Sharif HR Manager Active Media, who

is not only well concerned with the facts of the case but also

duly authorized to file this petition by the board of directors

resolution which is attached herewith.

2. That the addresses of the parties as given in the head note of

this petition are correct for the purpose of their service.

3. That the brief facts of the case are the petitioner submitted an

application to the respondent, SHO for registration of case

against the accused person, so that the grievance of the

petitioner be redressed, but the respondent till date did not take

any action upon the application of the petitioner illegally,

unlawfully, without any lawful justification and now the

 respondent flatly refused to register a criminal case against the

accused person. For further details copy of application is

attached herewith for the kind perusal of this Honourable court

as Annexure-A. The contents of the same may kindly be read

as integral part of this petition.

4. That bare perusal of the application supra reveals prima facie

cognizable offence; therefore, the respondent is duty bound to

register a criminal case against the culprits in accordance with

law under section 154 Cr.P.C as elaborately discussed by the

August Supreme Court of Pakistan as well by the Honourable

High Courts of the Country.

5. That the accompanying application has promptly given to the

respondent but he failed to discharge his official duties vested

in him by law besides culpable lapse of considerable period,

hence this petition.

6. That the law is very clear on the same point laid down on

Section 154 Cr.P.C that SHO is under obligation to record the

version of the petitioner in form of an F.I.R. The SHO

concerned has no authority to refuse the mandatory obligations

vested in him under Section 154 Cr.P.C. Reliance is placed on

(1993 SCMR 550) PLD 2003 Lah. 228 (c), context whereof

are reproduced hereunder as ready references:-

available to the petitioner, except to invoke the extra-ordinary

jurisdiction of this honourable court.
