Judgment text as reported

F.I.A. through Director General, FIA VS Syed HAMID ALI SHAH O. XXVIII, R. 3---Vexatious and frivolous petition---Imposition of costs---First Information Report registered and investigation carried out without lawful authority---Present petition was not only meritless but also vexatious, as it amounted to continuation of harassment caused to the respondents---Such petitions being meritless and against the law settled by the Supreme Court unduly waste the time of the Court depriving it from attending to more lawful and genuine claims pending before it---Such frivolous litigation clogs the pipelines of justice causing delay in dispensation of justice, thereby impairing the right to expeditious justice of a genuine litigant---Such vexatious and frivolous petitions add to the pendency of cases which over-burdens the Court dockets and slows down the engine of justice, thus, they must be dealt with firmly and strongly discouraged---Petition for leave to appeal was dismissed, and leave was declined with costs of Rs.100,000/- with the directions that said costs shall be deposited by the Inspector, In-charge Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), who registered the present FIR and was making the investigation against the respondents, from his own pocket, with the Registrar of the Supreme Court within 30 days, and after the deposit, they shall be paid to the respondents.
