ORDER

1. ABDUL RAZZAK A. THAHIM, J.----The petitioner, Khan Muhammad Bakhsh Arshad, by this Constitutional petition, seeks directions from this Court to S.H.O. Bridage Police Station, Karachi, to register a case under the appropriate provisions of law against- his sons.

2. The facts relating to this petition are that petitioner went to Europe in the year 1975. He left his revolver, licence and ammunition with his sons Javaid Anjum Khan, Head Constable Police, at Brigade Police Station, Karachi, and Muhammad Tarique. On his return to Pakistan his sons refused to return the same. He made so many applications but police did not register the case. Therefore, he wants us to issue writ in nature of Mandamus to S.H.O. To register his case.

3. We have heard Mr. Akhlaque Ahmed. His contention is that revolver of the petitioner has been dishonestly misappropriated by his sons. In our view if offence at all committed falls under section 403, P.P.C. Which is non-cognizable, therefore, the respondent has rightly not registered the case.

4. Moreover the petitioner has not impleaded his sons as parties in this petition against whom he has a agrievance. Not only this but he has adequate alternate remedy available as in case of non- cognizable offence, he could file a direct complaint.

5. S.A. Writ dismissed. 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.
