SHAUKAT ALI Versus STATE

ORDER

A case under section 10/11/13/14/18 Offence of Zina (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance, 1979, stands registered against the petitioner and another with Police Station Ravi Road, Lahore. The allegation against the petitioner is that on 2‑2‑1989, at about 12‑30 at night he was indulging in sexual intercourse with his co‑accused Mst. Saira in a shop. The police in pursuance of information raided the said shop and the petitioner alongwith his co‑accused were caught red handed.

It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the case against the petitioner is false. Submits that it is not indicated in the F.I.R. whether the police knocked at the door or they just entered into the shop. Submits that the petitioner is a married person having six children, therefore, cannot be expected to have indulged in such activity.

2. I have heard learned counsel and perused the file. The petitioner i named in the F.I.R. and is alleged to have been apprehended at the spot. The raiding party saw the petitioner indulging in sexual intercourse, therefore, it cannot be held that it is a case of further inquiry.

3. For what has been discussed above, I find no merit in the petition which is accordingly dismissed.

H.B.T./S/387/L Petition dismissed.
