  quashment of criminal casemutation proceedingsimpersonationforgerycheatingper incuriam precedentrevenue officer as court
  Summary & questions settled

  This is a petition for the quashment of a criminal case under sections 420 and 468 of the Pakistan Penal Code 1860, pending before a Magistrate, arising from allegations of fraud and impersonation in mutation proceedings before a Revenue Officer. The core legal questions involve whether the offence of cheating under section 420 is made out when no harm is caused to the Revenue Officer, whether a Magistrate can take cognizance of an offence under section 468 without a written complaint from the Revenue Court under section 195(1)(c) of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898, and whether a High Court is bound by a precedent of the Supreme Court considered to be per incuriam. The Lahore High Court dismissed the petition, holding that the petitioner had not come with clean hands having concealed earlier dismissal of co-accused's petitions, and on merits followed the Supreme Court precedent holding that a revenue officer is not a court under section 195(1)(c) of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898 and that cheating is not made out on identical facts, while affirming that questions of fact regarding forgery and personation must be tried by the trial court.

  Questions settled

  • Does the presentation of a fictitious woman to impersonate a property owner before a Revenue Officer constitute the offence of cheating under section 420 of the Pakistan Penal Code 1860?
  • Is a Revenue Officer acting in mutation proceedings considered a Court under section 195(1)(c) of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898?
  • Is a High Court bound to follow a binding precedent of the Supreme Court even if the said precedent is argued to have been rendered per incuriam?
  • Can a criminal petition for quashment be dismissed solely on the ground that the petitioner suppressed the fact that co-accused had previously filed similar petitions which were dismissed?
