' AALIA NEELUM, J. --- Through this Constitutional Petition, Mst. Tahira Bibi, petitioner has challenged the vires of order dated 21.08.2013 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Jhang in his capacity as Ex-Officio Justice of Peace has dismissed the application of the petitioner seeking registration of case against respondents No, 3 to 6.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner has moved an application before the learned Ex-Officio Justice of Peace for registration of case against Hakim Ali, etc. (respondents No, 3 to 6) who took the petitioner on gun point whereas Hakim Ali, committed Zinabil-Jabar with petitioner and also forcibly procured the thumb-impression of petitioner on Nikah Nama. Prayer has been made that by accepting the petition in hand, order dated 21.08.2013 passed by the learned Ex-officio Justice of Peace, Jhang be set aside and respondent No, 2 be directed to register a criminal case against respondents No, 3 to 6.
3. Bare perusal of record annexed with the instant petition reveals that on 20.05.2013, petitioner got recorded her statement before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Faisalabad wherein she did acknowledge her marriage with Hakim Ali, respondent No, 3 and in her statement before learned Judicial Magistrate, she has not mentioned anything regarding her abduction and this statement of petitioner got the evidentiary value and also has legal sanctity but surprisingly on 27.07.2013 in a petition under Section 491 of Cr.P.C. She resiled from factum of her Nikah with said Hakim Ali and male fide on the part of the petitioner for false implication of respondents No, 3 to 6 cannot be ruled out. Moreover, as per police report, petitioner is legally wedded wife of Hakim Ali, respondent No, 3 and no cognizable offence is made out against the said respondents as alleged by the petitioner.
4. The upshot of above discussion is that I find no illegality, infirmity or irregularity in the impugned order passed by the learned Ex-Officio Justice of Peace/ASJ dated 21.08.2013. It therefore, does not call for any interference in exercise of jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973. Resultantly, this petition being without any force is dismissed in limine.
