11. ' The applicant was challaned in the Court of Magistrate First Class, Karachi East. On 5th May, 1983 charge under section 419/171, P.P.C. Was framed against him to which he pleaded guilty.
12. Accordingly he was convicted and sentenced to three months' R.I. And to pay Rs,, 5,000 or in default to undergo further R.I. For three months. It has also been ordered that being Irani national he be deported to his country after the expiry of his sentence. The applicant filed appeal against the sentence before the Court of Sessions. The learned Sessions Judge modified the sentence of imprisonment of three months to the period already undergone and fine was also set aside. The learned Sessions Judge further ordered the deportation of the applicant from Pakistan to Iran. The learned counsel for the applicant Mr. Raja Qureshi contended that F.I.R. Was lodged against the applicant under section 419/471, P.P.C. And no section of Immigration Act or Pasport Act was applied, therefore, the order of deportation of the applicant is without jurisdiction. Mr. Makhdoom Abdul Wali the learned counsel for the State has submitted that the impugned order is bad in law as the learned Magistrate has not taken congizance of the offences under the Immigration Act and Passport Act. I have perused the record and found that applicant has been convicted under section 419 or 471, P.P.C. He has not been challaned under the Immigration Act. I am of the view that orders passed by the learned A.C.M. And the Sessions Judge suo motu without taking cognizance of the offences of Immigration Act or Passport Act are without jursdiction. I set aside the last portion of the order of the trial Court as well as of Sessions Judge. The necessary documents which have been secured from the petitioner may be returned after necessary verification if not required in any other case. 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.
