ORDER

1. ' NASIM HASAN SHAH, J.-The High Court, vide its order dated 13-11-1982, accepted the habeas corpus petition filed by Mst Khurshid Begum, respondent No, 1 herein and ordered the release of the detenu Mst. Shamim Begum allowing her to go alongwith.List. Khurshid Begum, afore-mentioned. This is a petition seeking leave to appeal against the said order of the High Court.

2. After hearing Mian Yasin Watto, Advocate, we feel that he is not in a position to challenge the correctness of the impugned order of the High Court on any cogent ground, His main apprehension, however, seems to be that the alleged detenu Mst. Shamim Begum, who. After the order of the High Court, is living with Mst. Khurshid Begum but having illicit relations with one Mumtaz, the brother of the said Mst. Khurshid Begum, cannot be taken into account either by petitioner No, I, who is the husband of Mst. Shamim Begum, nor her father, petitioner No, 2 herein. In other words, they cannot take any proceedings against Mst. Shamim Begum or her alleged paramour Mumtaz on account of the order of the High Court dated 13-11-1982 passed while disposing of the habeas corpus petition.

3. ' The apprehension of the learned counsel is entirely misconcieved. The order of the High Court does not stand in the way of proceedings being taken against any party who may be committing a criminal offense.

4. ' There is no force in this petition, which is hereby dismissed.
