Police ordered to file case against accused

RAWALPINDI - An Additional District and Sessions Judge Monday directed Pirwadhai Police to register a criminal case against two accused and their accomplices who had tried to set the anti-encroachment staff of Rawal Town Municipal Administration (TMA) on fire at the Pirwadhai Bus Stand.      

Judge Abdul Rehman Awan directed the Pirwadhai Police Station SHO to register an FIR against Imran Khan, Aftab and others after Pervaiz Mughal, Assistant Superintendent at TMA filed a petition under section 22-A Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), alleging the accused had attempted to set him and other officials of the TMA on fire on July 21 when they tried to remove some stall encroaching the area of passengers lounge in Pirwadhai General Bus Stand.

The court established after perusing the relevant material that the cognisable offence had been committed and directed the police to register a case as they could not initiate investigation until an FIR was not lodged.
