| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petitioner's case for special leave to appeal regarding the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) for illegally storing kerosene oil without a license. The court concluded that the petitioner could raise his objections before the Summary Military Court, which was already handling the case. The court found no merit in the petitioner's claims that the FIR disclosed no offense and emphasized that the case was at an intermediary stage with the investigation completed and a formal challan submitted. The dismissal by the Lahore High Court was upheld. |
| Summary |
In the case of Hamid Ali Baig vs. The State, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed the petition for special leave to appeal regarding the dismissal of a writ petition challenging the legality of an FIR related to the illegal storage of kerosene oil. The petitioner contended that he was not responsible for the alleged offense and that the license was under his brother's name. However, the court found inconsistencies in the petitioner's arguments and upheld the Lahore High Court's decision, stating that the matter should be resolved by the Summary Military Court. This case highlights critical issues of legal representation and the interpretation of laws related to petroleum trade, making it significant for understanding the enforcement of regulatory compliance in Pakistan. |
