Petitioner Advocate Sakhawat Ahmad had submitted that ADSJ Mazhar Saleem had directed the Kahna SHO to register an FIR against him and some other persons without following the procedures laid out for the purpose. He said that the SHO’s comments were not sought on the matter prior to the issuance of the directive.
The petitioner said an FIR had already been registered over the property dispute against the respondent, Zaheer Ahmad Jhedu, brother of former LBA Model Town chapter president Zameer Ahmed Jhedu. In such a situation, he said, the court should have ordered a cross-version and not an independent FIR.
Earlier, ADSJ Mazhar Saleem’s order had been suspended by another judge in the sessions’ court in an application filed by Ahmad. Ahmad had sought a re-call of the order submitting that it was passed without submission of SHO’s comments on the matter. He also said that the respondent, Zaheer Ahmed Jhedu, had concealed facts from the court.
Separately, Jhedu and other respondents had approached Saleem and obtained a directive for the Kahna police to comply with the original order requiring it to register an FIR against Ahmad.
