1. ' The dispute in this writ petition pertains to an Oil Tanker/Bus. According to Shaukat Ali petitioner he had purchased it from Muhammad Akram and Muhammad Aslam on instalments on higher purchase basis. He employed Muhammad Siddiqui as driver from whom Riaz Ahmad Cheema fraudulently secured his signatures on a blank stamped papers and snatched the Oil-Tanker/Bus from him. Consequently, he got a case registered at P.S. Saddar, Jhang under sections 379, 420, 468 & 471 against Riaz Ahmad Cheema etc. On 22-3-1986. During investigation the police took into possession the ,Oil Tanker/Bus on 4-7-1986 from one Aziz Muhammad, driver of Muhammad Ali respondent No,3. Shaukat Ali, Muhammad All and Riaz Ahmad Cheema submitted separate applications for Supardari. The learned Assistant Commissioner, Jhang. Vide his order, dated 31-5- 1986, dismissed all the applications. Feeling aggrieved Muhammad Ali and Shaukat Ali, petitioner filed revision petitions in the Court of Session. The learned Addl. Sessions Judge Jhang, by his judgment dated 10-8-1986, accepted the revision of Muhammad All and directed that the Oil Tanker/Bus be given on Supardari to him. The revision filed by Shaukat Ali Petitioner was, however, dismissed.

2. The learned Addl. Sessions Judge observed that after perusal of the documents and the certificate dated 26-3-1986 issued by the Motor Registering Authority, Jhang and the order of Supardari dated 5-1-1986 passed by Magistrate Ist Class, Faisalabad in favour of Riaz Ahmad Cheema, prima facie conclusion was that they (Riaz Ahmad and Muhammad Ali) had an arguable case. Further that there was no dispute that the vehicle in question had been taken into possession by the police from the custody of Aziz Muhammad, driver of Muhammad Ali.

2. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and the petitioner. A disputed question of fact about the ownership of Oil Tanker/Bus in question and its transfer to the petitioner or Muhammad Ali, respondent or Riaz Ahmad Cheema arises which can only be determined after recording the parties' evidence. The order passe. By the learned Addl. Sessions Judge, giving the Bus/Oil Tanker on Supardari to Muhammad Ali respondent is based on sound reasons.

3. ' Accordingly, I do not feel persuaded to interfere with the said order in the constitutional jurisdiction. In consequence, petition fails and is dismissed.

4. ' However, the trial Court is directed to expedite the trial.

5. Petition dismissed.
