Said application was marked by District Police Officer Vehari to DSP Saddar Circle for inquiry . Vide inquiry report dated 25.08.2017, DSP Saddar Circle Vehari recommended proceedings against petitioner under Section 182 PPC observing that the application moved by petitioner was false: Consequently , Respondent No. 4/Station House Officer prepared impugned qalandra.

Pertinent to note here is that no F.I.R. was registered on petitioner's application, rather after conducting aforesaid inquiry , impugned qalandra was prepared against him by Respondent No. 4/Station House Officer who was one of the accused in petitioner's application. Copy of Inquiry report dated 25.08.2017 is annexed with the petition in hand, perusal of which shows that only statements of two proposed accused were recorded and thereafter opinion was formed to the effect that petitioner's application was false. In such backdrop, inquiry report dated 25.08.2017 and subsequent qalandra impugned herein are without any substance and appear to be based on mala fide, hence not sustainable. Therefore, petition in hand is allowed and impugned qalandra is hereby quashed . revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
