' Report from the office of Motor Registration Authorities Excise and Taxation Office, D.G. Khan, dated 4-5-2005 reveals that it was the petitioner who approached the authorities for the issuance of duplicate copy of Registration Book of the tractor in dispute and later on upon the application of the complainant the Registration Authorities cancelled the duplicate Registration Book in the name of the petitioner. Evidence available on the record reveals that after paying Rs,1,00,000 to the A complainant, the petitioner took over the possession of the tractor and later on refused to pay the remaining amount as well as misappropriated the tractor. Similarly in order to show his ownership petitioner fraudulently got issued duplicate copy of the Registration Book of the said tractor. In this view of the matter, prima facie findings ample evidence on the record connecting the petitioner with the commission of offence. I am not persuaded to entertain this application, same stands dismissed.
