Citation Name: 2025 PCrLJ 1974 KARACHI-HIGH-COURT-SINDHBookmark this Case Zulfiqar Ali VS Senior Investigating Officer Crime No. 151 of 2023 of P.S Mehar, District Dadu Ss. 561-a & 173---Penal Code (XLV of 1860), S. 319---Qatl-i-khata---Quashing of FIR---Pursuant to the registration of FIR, investigation followed and in due course the police submitted a report under S. 173, Cr.P.C., against accused/petitioner---Judicial Magistrate, after due examination of the investigating report and the material on record, declined to take cognizance against the nominated accused/petitioner and accepted the police report recommending the disposal of the case under "C" Class---Validity---Impugned order of the Judicial Magistrate accepting the "C" Class report was in line with settled legal principles---Where an Investigating agency, after thorough inquiry, finds no substantive evidence to establish a cognizable offence, the acceptance of a "C" Class report by a judicial forum does not warrant interference, unless it is demonstrated that the order suffered from gross illegality, arbitrariness, or failure to exercise jurisdiction judiciously---In the instant case, no such legal infirmity was apparent in the impugned order---Findings of the Judicial Magistrate were well-reasoned, legally sound and aligned with the established principles of criminal justice---High Court found no legal justification to interfere with the impugned order---application was dismissed accordingly.
