Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD ASHRAF VS State S. 489-F--- Dishonestly issuing a cheque---Appreciation of evidence---Delay of about six months in lodging the FIR---Effect---Accused issued cheques, which were dishonoured on presentation, due to insufficient balance in the account---Record showed that the alleged cheques were issued on 18.08.2017 and 28.9.2017, but the application for registration of the FIR was submitted on 17.03.2018 and FIR was lodged on 26.08.2018 with delay of six months without an explanation, however, complainant stated during cross-examination that the application for registration of the FIR was written by an Advocate in his office on 17.03.2018, meaning thereby that the complainant lodged the FIR after deliberation and consultation, which created serious doubt in the prosecution case---Criminal revision was allowed and accused was acquitted by setting aside the impugned judgments passed by the Trial Court and appellate court.
