Terms that the challan was submitted in court

“5. We have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the available record. Learned counsel for the petitioner while arguing the matter before the learned Division Bench, seized of the Intra Court Appeal No.288 of 2013, admitted in clear terms that the challan was submitted in court at least two months prior to the transfer of investigation at that time charge had also been framed against the accused by the learned trial Court. The trial had also commenced at the time of transfer of investigation, as such, the order for transfer of  investigation at that belated stage was not sustainable in view of the law laid down by this Court in the case of Muhammad Nasir Cheema v. Mazhar Javaid and another PLD 2007 SC 31). In such circumstances learned Single Judge in Chamber had rightly accepted the Writ Petition filed by respondent No.6 and had committed no illegality or material irregularity and we also find no jurisdictional defect in the said order. The learned Division Bench had also dismissed the Intra Court Appeal for valid reasons which findings cannot be interfered with by this Court in its constitutional jurisdiction under Article 185 of the Constitution.

6. The resume of the above discussion is that we find no merit in this petition which is hereby dismissed. Leave refused.”
