PESHAWAR, Dec 31: The Peshawar High Court on Monday declined to direct the local police to register an FIR on the complaint of a petitioner against his son-in-law.
A single bench, comprising Justice Shehzad Akber Khan, dismissed a petition filed by a resident of Peshawar, stating that his daughter, Noshaba Samreen, was forcefully taken away by her husband who also took away jewellery worth Rs400,000.
Noshaba Samreen, later, appeared before the bench and informed it that she was not taken away forcefully by her husband, Shahid Ali, and that they had also not taken away any jewellery with them.
She further said that her parents were annoyed with her marriage with Shahid and were not allowing her to go with her husband.
Noshaba, having a three months old baby, said that her parents had now been levelling baseless allegations against her husband.
The petitioner had claimed that the SHO of the concerned police station was not registering an FIR about the theft and taking away of his daughter. He had prayed the court to issue directives to the SHO for the registration of the FIR.
The bench observed that the woman had gone with her husband at her free will and as such no FIR could be registered.
BAIL GRANTED: A single bench of the high court on Tuesday granted bail to two applicants accused of killing a person in Mardan.
The bench issued a directive that the applicants should be released after furnishing two surety bonds woth Rs 200,000 each. The applicants, Habib and Ghulam, were arrested on April 14 after Suleman Shah was killed in the jurisdiction of Police Station Mardan Cantonment.
The motive behind the murder was stated to be land dispute.
The counsel for the applicants stated that they were falsely implicated in the case and that they had nothing to do with the murder.
He argued that there was no evidence on record against the applicants.
