' Learned Addl. A.-G. Submits that one Ch. Taj Mehmood submitted an application to S.H.O., Police Station,Liaqatabad on 15-5-2000, wherein it was stated that he was the owner of Car No RIM/1 Mistubishi, he sold the same to some Aamir Khan for a sum of Rs,4 lacs. Aamir Khan paid Rs,two lacs to Taj Mehmood, rest of the money was yet to be paid by Aamir Khan. Grievance of Taj Mehmood was that Aamir Khan was not paying the rest amount. This application was marked to A.S.-I. Present in Court by S.H.O. The said car was purchased by Kamran Shaukat petitioner from Aamir Khan. Learned Addl. A.-G. Submits that matter if any was of a civil nature. A.S.-I. Has no authority to trespass into the house of the petitioner and to take away the said car from his house, that there was no justification to take over the car into custody under section 550, Cr.P.C.
2. I have also gone through the record. There is no statement of Aamir Khan, Even the A.S.-I. Did not take any warrant from the Illaqa/Duty Magistrate to enter into the house of the petitioner. Petitioner belongs to a respectable family. The conduct of the A.S.-I. Is highly deplorable. Nobody can be allowed to enter into the house. There is no reasonable ground to believe that petitioner has committed an offence and in this regard nothing even has been brought on record. In my considered opinion, that act of the A.S.-I. Is not in accordance with law and highly deprecated. He is directed to hand over the said car to the petitioner today as there was no justification for taking over the car in possession under section 550, Cr.P.C. Therefore, the said proceedings are hereby quashed. Petitioner, if so advised, may appear before S.S.P., Lahore, detailing his grievance in writing, who would look into the matter and thereafter, if a cognizable offence is made out against the A.S.-I. Then he should proceed strictly in accordance with law. With these observations, this petition stands disposed of.
