ORDER

1. ' TANVIR AHMED KHAN, J.--- This petition is directed against the order, dated 21-5-2001 of the learned Single Judge of the Lahore High Court, Lahore, whereby Writ Petition No,8456 of 2001 filed by the petitioner was dismissed in limine being not maintainable as well as on the ground of conduct of the petitioner demonstrated by him subsequent to the Superdari order secured on 4-3-2000 from the Court of Judicial Magistrate, Section 30, Lahore.

2. ' The facts briefly narrated for the disposal of this petition are that F.I.R. No,41 of 2000 was registered under sections 452/380/448/420/ 468/471/148/149, P.P.C. At Police Station Naseer Abad, District Lahore. During investigation, US $ 9,000 was recovered. The petitioner, Waseem Gondal, made an application on 4-3-2000 praying for Superdari of the above amount. The Judicial Magistrate, on the same day, allowed the Superdari subject to production of above amount before the Court. The same was assailed by respondent No,1 through Criminal Revision No,135 of 2000, which was accepted by a learned Additional Sessions Judge, Lahore, through his order, dated 21-3-2001.

We do not want to dilate on the merits of the case as this exercise may prejudice the case of either party. However, one thing is very clear from the documents on record that conduct of the petitioner was not above board. The learned revisional Court as well as the learned Single Judge of the Lahore High Court directed the petitioner to come forward and honour the condition mentioned in the Superdari order. The documents demonstrate that he is living abroad and in spite of notice he never attended the Court. The order of Superdari was passed about three years back and till today the petitioner has not honoured the direction of the Courts. In these circumstances, we do not find any justification to interfere with the impugned order.

4. 'Resultantly, the instant petition being devoid of any merit and force is hereby dismissed and .
