10/11 hours delay in lodging of F.I.R.

 The Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan in the case of “Akhter Ali and others v. The State”(2008 SCMR 6) held that” 

“It is also an admitted fact that the F.I.R. was lodged by the complainant after considerable delay of 10/11 hours without explaining the said delay. 10/11 hours delay in lodging of F.I.R. provides sufficient time for deliberation and consultation when the complainant had given no explanation for delay in lodging the F.I.R.
