BASHIR AHMED versus VIIITH FAMILY JUDGE, DISTRICT WEST, KARACHI
Article 1 561A and 249 Constitution of Pakistan, Article 199 Constitutional Petition: The High Court's hereditary jurisdiction to stop criminal proceedings. That there was no evidence in the case or that the case was of serious nature or that the matter was of a civil nature or that there was a judicial error or that there was a breach of some of the provisions of the law and that the continuation of the proceedings would be equivalent to misuse of the court's constitution. Jurisdiction to stop proceedings in exceptional cases Can be used. The High Court had sufficient authority to terminate the proceedings if it found that even after the evidence was filed, section 249A, under section 249A, CRPC, had ended alternative treatment under CRPC. The accused will not be punished. It should be used only a little and when the law of abuse was revealed, or when it was necessary to prevent defeat of justice, it was necessary that the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court was no substitute or additional jurisdiction. The magistrate did not commit any unlawful action to stop the proceedings after recording the reasons, as no legal material was recorded against him. Under Section 1 561A, was launched for the purpose of harassing the accused, the CRPC could not be used because the criminal procedure could be interrupted or altered. The trial against the accused was not an unusual case, stopping the proceedings was the end of justice
