Judgment text as reported

ABID IQBAL VS PROVINCE OF SINDH S. 3---Constitution and powers of Establishment---Jurisdiction of Establishment against private persons---Scope---Petitioner aggrieved by initiation of three enquiries against him and others by Anti-Corruption Establishment seeks protection against any action including registration of FIR and arrest to be taken pursuant to such enquiries---Main ground to question the enquiries and its repercussions is that he is a private person---Sindh Enquiries and Anti-Corruption Act, 1991 provides for constitution of a special agency for investigation of certain offences relating to corruption or enquiry into misconduct by public servant and for holding preliminary enquiries against such servants in Sindh---Anti-Corruption Establishment has not only been given a power to hold preliminary enquiry against a public servant but also against any person who has joined hands with such public servant in any capacity for determining whether the reported offences shall be investigated or departmental enquiries be conducted---Such position, extending domain of Anti-Corruption Establishment over a private person associated in any capacity with a public servant in commission of a scheduled offence, satisfactorily dissipates misgiving of the petitioner that enquiry against him cannot be initiated---Constitutional petition, being meritless, was dismissed.
