LAHORE - A division bench of the Supreme Court on Tuesday issued notices to the Punjab additional secretary health and father of Imanae Malik, a victim of alleged doctors negligence, on a hospitals petition against insertion of section 302 of PPC in FIR following an order of the Lahore High Court. The bench comprising Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani and Justice MA Shahid Siddiqui issued notices for today (Wednesday). Advocate Talib H Rizvi on behalf of the hospitals board of directors submitted the LHC has no jurisdiction and authority to direct the investigating officer to add an offence or convert a case into section 302. He said a section couldnt be added until the investigating officer collected evidence on the basis of which he arrived at his independent decision that the offences mentioned in FIR falls within the ambit of a specific provision. Rizvi argued the complainant of the FIR had already filed an application for insertion of section 302 before sessions court but due to order of LHC the said application was disposed of being becoming infructuous (ineffective). Resultantly the LHC order also denied a court of competent jurisdiction to proceed in the matter, he added. The counsel prayed the court to set aside the impugned order and direct the investigating officer to hold his independent investigation. Meanwhile, Muhammad Azhar Siddique Advocate on behalf of complainant argued that the LHC had rightly exercised its jurisdiction under article 199 of the constitution. He said firstly an application was filed with investigation officer for the addition of section 302 but he failed to redress the grievance. Later the complainant approached sessions court for the purpose but to no avail which compelled him to move LHC under article 199 of constitution. The counsel further said the investigation was in progress so the accused should establish their case before the investigating officer. He pointed out that the impugned order of the LHC was an interim order against which no appeal can be filed so the petition should be dismissed by declaring non-maintainable.
