_______________________________________________________________    DATE                                       ORDER WITH SIGNATURE OF JUDGE _______________________________________________________________

                                   

1.    For orders on CMA 5169/2016  (U/A)

2.    For orders on CMA 5170/2016 (Contempt)

Mr.  Iftikhar Ali Arain Advocate for petitioner.

                                    ...............

 

 

1.            Granted.

2.            Through listed application, the petitioner alleges contempt of Court by the alleged contemnors, as according to learned counsel for the petitioner, in spite of disposal of instant petition vide order dated 25.03.2016 with directions to provide protection to petitioner, the alleged contemnors have taken away 80 wheat bags from the land of the petitioner. From perusal of the order dated 25.03.2016, it appears that instant petition was filed by alleging harassment by the private respondents and such petition was disposed of with the directions to the official respondents that they shall provide protection to the petitioner in accordance with law, whereas, with regard to dispute over the property, the parties were directed to approach the competent Court of law. I am of the tentative view that since, there is no finding or decision by this court with regard to title or possession over the subject land of either party, whereas, harassment petition has been disposed with the above observations i.e. police may provide protection in accordance with law, therefore, the grievance expressed through instant Contempt application appears to be beyond the scope of the reliefs sought in the instant petition. It appears that petitioner has not approached the proper Court of jurisdiction or the police either seeking declaration regarding title in accordance with law or seeking protection from area police as per directions as contained in the order dated 25.03.2016. Learned counsel for the petitioner further states that the police has registered a criminal case against son of petitioner at the instance of private contemnors, for which the petitioner has filed separate petition seeking re-investigation of the F.I.R

                        Accordingly, I am of the opinion that instant contempt application is misconceived in fact and law as no violation of any specific order passed in the instant petition, has been pointed out, hence the same is hereby dismissed. However, the petitioner may be at liberty to seek remedy in accordance with law pursuant to subsequent alleged harassment and may pursue the petition, whereby, registration of false FIR against the son of petitioner has been challenged, which shall be decided on its own merits, strictly in accordance with law and the facts as reported therein.
