1. ' In the course of the hearing of this petition, Mst. Shahida and Mst. Sughran, the alleged detenues, levelled allegations of abduction and rape against Abdul Rashid A.S.I. And his companions vide order dated 25-6-1989, I directed S.S.P. Multan, to hold preliminary investigation. The report submitted by the S.S.P. Confirms that Mst. Sughran and Mst. Shahida after having been apprehended by Abdul Rashid A.S.I. And the constables accompanying him, were brought to Police Station City Lodhran and were wrongfully kept there, but were not subjected to sexual intercourse or other act of immorality. It is very much obvious that although Mst. Shahida and Mst. Sughran were not required by the police in any case nor any warrant for their arrest was issued by the Magistrate, yet Abdul Rashid A.S.I. And his companions namely Muhammad Naseeb, F.C.
2. Muhammad Amin, F.C. And Allah Bakhsh Razakar, by force compelled them to go from their house situate in village Klanchwala, District Bahawalpur, to Lodhran, District Multan and thereafter wrongfully confined them in Police Station City Lodhran. This shows that the aforesaid police officials and Razakar have been concerned in a cognizable offence punishable under section 365,,P.P.C. Or at least a reasonable suspicion exists of their having been so concerned. It is a case of high handedness. I feel that a situation has arisen in which for the effective administration of justice and administration of law I may exercise my authority under section 25 read with section 22-A, Cr.P.C. And inherent powers of High Court under section 561-A, Cr.P.C. Under section 25 read with section 22-A a Judge of the High Court by virtue of his office, for the purpose of arrest can exercise all powers of a Police Officer referred to in section 54, Cr.P.C. Not only within the local limits of the High Court concerned but in whole of Pakistan and at the time of giving order for the registration of the case can simultaneously arrest the persons who have been concerned in a cognizable offence or against whom a reasonable suspicion exists of their having been so concerned. I propose to arrest Abdul Rashid A.S.I. Muhammad Naseeb, F.C. Muhammad Amin, F.C.
3. And Allah Bakhsh, Razakar and get the case registered on the report of the S.S.P. At this stage, the petitioner has expressed his dissatisfaction with the report of S.S.P. Multan. He insists that the modesty of Mst. Shahida was outraged by Abid Hussain Shah and Mst. Sughran was raped by Zafar Hussain Shah with the connivance of Abdul Rashid A.S.I. And Iqbal Hussain Shah. He wants case to be registered on his report and not on the report of S.S.P. That being the position, I refrain from getting the case registered under section 365, P.P.C. And also from taking Abdul Rashid A.S.I. And others into custody, lest it may prejudice the intended F.I.R. Of the petitioner and the investigation of the case. S.P. Bahawalpur, enjoys powers of an Officer in charge of police station throughout the local area of District Bahawalpur, therefore, I direct him to register or get the case registered under sections 342, 354, 457, 365, P.P.C. And sections 11 and 10 of the Offence of Zina (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance, 1979 at Police Station Naushera Jadeed, on the basis of complaint marked 'A' of the detenues. He will depute responsible officer not below the rank of D.S.P. To investigate the case. He will get the investigation complete within 15 days under intimation to the Additional Registrar of this Court. .
