LIAQAT ALI Versus STATE

ORDER

1. This is a Constitutional petition filed by the petitioner seeking a direction to the respondent No.l for transfer of the investigation of a case registered under section 324/34, P.P.C. on 15-7-1992 at Police Station Baghbanpura, Lahore. It is stated that 13 injuries are allegedly inflicted on the person of the injured by the accused mentioned in the F.I.R. It is also argued by the learned counsel that the police has not fairly and impartially investigated: the F.I.R. in question and has released the three accused out of four. There is clear attribution of injuries on the person of the injured to the accused mentioned in the F.I.R. So far as narration of the facts in F.I.R. and the nature of injuries are concerned it is humanly impossible to inflict 13 injuries on the person of the injured by a single individual. The injured is stated to be in a precarious position and still not out of danger to life. The law officer present in the Court is also of the view that nature and number of injuries as mentioned on the person of victim, in the medico-legal report shows that there are more culprits than one. In view of all the aforesaid circumstances, I accept this petition and direct that the S.S.P., Lahore shall immediately transfer the investigation of the questioned F.I.R. No.321/94, dated 15-7-1992 of Police Station Baghbanpura, Lahore to Crime Branch C.I.A., Lahore and direct them specially to investigate the case impartially and fairly.
