                        Petitioner and his Counsel called absent, no intimation received. On the last date of hearing, i.e 08.3.2016, when the matter was fixed in Court, petitioner and his Counsel were called absent and the urgency application was dismissed. Today also after having filed urgency application, the petitioner and his Counsel have remained absent without any intimation. 

                        From perusal of perusal of contents of instant petition and impugned order dated 13.2.2016 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge / Ex-officio Justice of Peace, Gambat in Criminal Miscellaneous Application No. 333 of 2016, it appears that the applicant filed an application U/s 22-A & 22-B, Cr.P.C for registration of F.I.R, has been dismissed in the following terms:-

“It is legally admitted position that SHO is duty bound to record the statement of applicant either u/s 154 or 155 Cr.P.C but Hon’ble Sindh High Court in two citations reported in Nazir Ahmed v. Station House Officer, Police Station, Adilpur, District Ghotki and another (2015 P.Cr.L.J 846) and another case law reported in Imtiaz Ahmed Cheema, SHO v. SHO, Police Station Dharki, Ghotki 2 others (2010 YLR 189 Karachi) had held that Justice of Peace is not a post office where directions for FIR be issued but Justice of Peace has to apply his judicious mind. As no such incident had taken place and nothing is likely to be recovered and dispute over land is involved and matter is of pure civil nature and attempt has been made to convert civil litigation in to criminal litigation, therefore, application stands declined.”

                        From the perusal of aforesaid order, it appears that no error or illegality has been committed by learned Additional Sessions Judge/ Ex-Officio Justice of Peace, Gambat while passing the impugned order, whereas, the petitioner has the remedy to file direct complaint before the same Magistrate, if he is aggrieved from such order. Accordingly, instant petition being devoid of any merits is hereby dismissed along with listed applications.
