All residents of Street No. 8, Usmanabad Colony, Multan. Respondents/Accused Respectfully Sheweth: 1.
That on 13.3.2001, at 5 A.M. when I was away from home and my children were cleaning the house, all the abovementioned accused person forcibly and illegally took possession of my partitioned share of house No. 888/43-K/1, Usmanabad Colony, Multan and thrown out of some of my belongings out of the house and after breaking locks of the rooms inside the house, misappropriated four bags of wheat, weighing 100 K.G. each and a big box 4 feet X 8 feet wherein spare beddings and out of season clothes were kept. They locked the whole house with their own locks. Motive/grudge for this illegal possession was that accused No. 4 & 5 under the shelter of accused No. 1 & 2 doing business of adulterated
mobil oil by packing it in fake printed tins of renowned companies and supplying the same in the market of Multan, Shujabad, etc. One day, I used this mobil oil in my own motor car Suzuki DGB 6000 and the engine of my care ceased within two days and I had to spend Rs. 12,000/- for its renovation. I strictly asked respondents No. 4 & 5 to immediately stop this business. They got annoyed and talked to respondents No. 1 & 2 who in turn instructed them to take possession of my house forcibly just to teach me a lesson. 2.
That the same day, I made a written complaint to the Ilaqa Magistrate and to S.P. City (as S.S.P. was away to America). The learned Magistrate forwarded my application to S.H.O. P.S. Gulgasht with the following instructions. ”S.H.O. is ordered to treat this application in accordance with law and submit his progress report within tow days positively.” S.P. City also forwarded this application with the direction to inquire and take legal action. Both these applications were handed over to S.H.O. Gulgasht who advised me not to get a case registered and assured me that possession of the house shall be restored to me within a day. Both these applications are attached herewith as Annex “A & A/1” and copy of arbitration award as Annex “B”.
3.
That just half an hour of the delivery of this application, the accused persons received through respondent No. 2 a photostate copy of the application and they immediately removed all drums of adulterated mobil oil along-with counter feit/fake printed tins and also removed spots of mobil oil on the floor of the house by washing it with surf and soda ash.
4.
That thereafter, S.H.O. P.S. Gulgasht has been making further promises for restoring me the possession of the house, but he did never do the needful on the pretext of his being busy in some important cases and then in Moharram Duty.
5.
That Malik Ilyas respondent No. 1 is son in law and Khadim Hussain respondent No. 2 is brother in law of Muhammad Akram respondent No. 3. Respondent No. 1 & 2 give shelter to the three accused in their illegal acts.
6.
That accused No. 4 & 5 are well built and Ghunda Type who threatened me with a Danda in his hand that they would kill me in case I further pursue the application.
7.
That in these circumstances, I understand that S.H.O. Gulgasht under the strong influence of respondent No. 1 & 2, have compelled me not to get a criminal case registered and promised me for restoration of possession, but by his subsequent conduct, it is evident that his such promise was fake and only to give undue benefit to respondents and not to give any relief to me.
8.
That respondents No. 1 & 2 are guilty of constant interference in
the
functioning
of
significant
institution
of
law
enforcement. Such irresponsible conduct and abuse of powers on the part of police officials has resulted in the lack of public faith in this most important organ of the state rendering me to be in a state of fear-fullness and dis-trustfullness. I understand that all this malpractice is due to lack of accountability and rule of law which is extremely injurious to social justice. 9.
That S.H.O. P.S. Gulgahst was legally bound to register the case against the accused persons without fear or favour but he shirked his legal obligations under the unwanted influence of his colleague police officials. As such, I am left feeling cheated and exploited by the Executive organ of the state whose foremost duty is to perform the security functions by bringing the criminals to justice. But instead they have ventured to violate the law of the land and have threatened the public peace and order.
10.
Sir, I have a genuine right to demand speedy and inexpensive justice. I need assurance that human rights as guaranteed in the Constitution of Pakistan are to be held sacred. Prayer for suitable action. I also seek relief for restoration of my possession of my partitioned property as promised by the S.H.O. Police Station Gulgahst, Multan. Yours truly, Zafar Iqbal Khan, Advocate High Court, Complainant, R/o St # 8, Usmanabad Colony, Multan. Ph # 523471
