Sardar Mohabbat Ali Dogar for Petitioner.
This Petition for Special Leave to Appeal arises from judgment of learned Judicial Magistrate, Kasur whereby he on 10‑6‑1984 acquitted Bagga, Qadir Bakhsh and Muhammad Amin, of the charges under section 468/467/475/472/109, P.P.C.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the learned Magistrate has failed to take into account the material evidence and has acquitted the respondents without legal justification.
3. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner with care. I find that the learned Magistrate has applied his conscious mind to the relevant evidence and has given sound and cogent reasons in support of his judgment. The judgment is neither illegal nor perverse. It is well‑settled that once an accused person is acquitted of I the charge then strong and exceptional reasons would be required for interference with the same which I do not see in the case in hand.
4. For what has been said above, the petition is dismissed in limine.
S. A. Petition dismissed.
