2. Liaquatabad Karachi (West) under the Sind Crimes Control Act, 1975. I have heard Mr. Gul Zaman Khan, learned counsel for the applicant. No one has appeared on behalf of the State. It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that the report of S.H.O. North Nazimabad, Police Station, Karachi makes, general vague allegations against the applicant and out of the four cases mentioned in the report, the applicant has already been acquitted in two cases and in the remaining two cases no action has been taken since early 1981. It is further contended that the learned S.D.M./Tribunal issued non-bailable warrants against the applicant in the first instance which is a violation of section 5 of the Act of 1975.

3. In my view the applicant has made out a case for quashment of proceedings. There is not only a violation of section 5 of the Sind Crimes Control Act, 1975 in as much non-bailable warrants were issued in the first instance but also of section .6 of the Act as general and vague allegations have been made against the applicant. This application under section 561-A of Cr.P.C. Is converted into a constitutional petition and it is allowed and the proceedings taken and orders passed by the Tribunal/Assistant Commissioner and S.D.M. Liaquatabad, Karachi (West) against the petitioner/applicant in case No,716/.1981 under section 14 of the Sind Crimes Control Act, 1975 are quashed.
