ORDER

Adnan-ul-Karim Memon, J. – The petitioner Muhammad Sajid has filed the captioned Constitutional Petition under Article 199 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973, with the following prayer: - a) To issue direction to the official respondents to produce the all pending record for cases/FIRs and detail Report before this Court; b) Restrain the Respondents from arresting the petitioner without permission of this Court;

c) Restrain the official respondents from registration of any FIR/complaint against the petitioner without permission of this Court;

d) Direct the official respondents to take action against the private respondents

e) Direct the official respondents to provide protection to the petitioner and in accordance with law.

2.The Petitioner, Muhammad Sajid, has filed the instant Constitutional Petition under Article 199 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973, seeking directions to the official respondents to produce record of any pending cases/FIRs against him, restrain them from arresting him or registering any FIR without permission of this Court, take action against private respondents, and provide him protection in accordance with law.

3.Learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the Petitioner, being an estate agent dealing in property sale, purchase and rental matters, has no outstanding liability towards the private respondents; however, they are allegedly demanding money and issuing threats to his life and family, including an incident dated 01.05.2024 when they allegedly attempted to dispossess him from his house. Despite moving an application for legal action and protection, no response has been received from the police.

4.Police officials present in Court state that no harassment shall be caused to the Petitioner and that in case any cognizable offence is made out, the police shall be at liberty to lodge FIR in accordance with law.

5.In view of the statement made by the police officials before this Court that no harassment shall be caused to the Petitioner and that any action, including registration of FIR, shall strictly be taken in accordance with law only if a cognizable offence is made out, the grievance of the Petitioner stands adequately addressed.

6.Accordingly, no further interference is warranted by this Court in exercise of its constitutional jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution. The official respondents are, however, directed to ensure that the Petitioner is dealt with strictly in accordance with law and that his complaint, if any, is attended to in accordance with the prescribed legal procedure.

7.With these observations and directions, the instant Petition is disposed of.
