FAHIM AHMED SIDDIQUI, J: In the instant petition, the petitioners have sought the following reliefs :-

A)   That this court may be pleased to restrain the respondent No.5 not to move any false applications against the petitioners;

B)   That this court may be pleased to direct the respondent No.1 to 4 not to entertain any false complaint of the respondent No.5;

C)   That this court may be pleased to restrain the respondent No.5 and 6 from creating harassment in the service of the petitioners as well as restrain from visiting the office of the petitioners i.e., Medical Centre;

D)   Any other relief or reliefs which may deem fit and proper under the circumstances of the case.

2.                     It appears from the contents of the petition as well as prayer clauses made therein that the main grievance of the petitioners is against respondent No.5 and 6. Respondent No.5 and 6 filed their objections on the petition in which they denied the allegations and levelled counter allegations against the petitioners.

3.                     Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that respondent No.5 is the wife of respondent No.6 and she was a member of aircrew as Airhostess but now she has been declared a ground staff and posted in a school in violation of the rules. According to him, now being a member of ground staff, respondent No.5 is not entitled to avail medical facility at hospital as the medical centre is meant for aircrew members only. He has submitted that instant petition may be allowed as prayed, and respondent No. 5 and 6 may be  directed not to  cause  harassment  to  the  petitioners by leveling false allegations as they have initiated false cases and moved false applications against the petitioners.

4.                     Respondent No.5 appeared in person and submitted that being a lady, she is unable to harass the petitioners and in fact she is being harassed by the petitioners. She further submitted that whenever she or her husband visited medical centre, the petitioners did not treat them properly and they did not allow them to enter into medical centre and to get treatment. According to her, not only she but also her husband, children and parents are entitled to avail medical facility at medical centre.

5.                     I have heard the arguments and gone through the material placed before me. It appears that the petitioners and respondent No.5 are antagonized to each other on account of certain disputes. In her objections, respondent No.5 has levelled allegations and it also appears that FIRs were lodged by the parties against each other. As far as the prayer clauses are concerned, the major portion of the same is actually pertaining to administration of PIAC but in the instant petition, PIAC is not a party in any capacity. The petitioners have admitted that respondent No.5 is basically a member of aircrew of PIAC and if under the law, she is allowed to avail medical facility then she cannot be restrained from availing her legal right. As far as prayer clause regarding restraining respondent No.5 and 6 from lodging false complaint is concerned, no one is supposed to initiate false case and being a citizen of state of Pakistan, the petitioners and respondent No.5 and 6, both, have to act strictly in accordance with law. However, respondent No.5 and 6 are directed not to take law in their hands and all their acts and deeds should be remained strictly within parameters of law. With these observations, instant petition is disposed of.
