ORDER

1. NASIM HASAN SHAH, J.--The petitioner filed a complaint under section 9 of the Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929, against 17 persons alleging that they had all joined together and got Mst. Asmat Parveen a minor girl of 15 years to forcibly solemnize marriage with Fahim Sehar.

2. The learned trial Court, Ch. Nazir Ahmad, Magistrate 1st Class, Lahore dismissed the complaint and by his order. Dated 27-6-1984, acquitted the respondents. The petitioner thereupon sought leave to appeal from the Lahore High Court by filing a petition under section 417(2), Cr.P.C. But the learned Judge, who heard this petition, came to the conclusion that no good ground for granting leave to appeal existed. He, accordingly, dismissed the petition in limine, vide his order, dated 25-11-1984.

3. This is a petition for leave to appeal directed against the aforesaid order.

4. Sh. Masood Akhtar, learned Advocate-on-Record, has been heard on behalf of the petitioner.

5. We are satisfied that the complaint was rightly dismissed by the learned Magistrate and the High Court was fully justified in refusing to grant leave to appeal against it.

6. No ground for interference exists. This petition, therefore, fails and is dismissed hereby.
