Hearing of Misc. Applications U/S 265 K Cr.P.C 0 0 ADJ II, Shaheed Benazirabad
14-OCT-2026
This session case arises from a direct complaint. The complainant, an advocate by profession, is present along with his witnesses, Waqas Arain and Mushtaque Masih; however, his counsel is absent. All accused persons are present on bail, represented by the junior associate of their learned counsel. The matter was fixed today for arguments on the application under Section 265-K, Cr.P.C. from complainant side. The defense side had already concluded its arguments on a previous date, whereas the complainant filed adjournment application, stating that he has filed transfer application bearing No.S-35 of 2026 before the Honorable High Court of Sindh, Circuit Court, Hyderabad. On his adjournment application, order was passed directing the complainant to produce a copy of said transfer application on the next date of hearing. Separately, the complainant filed a statement alleging that on 29-08-2026, when the undersigned was on leave, he was present alongside his witnesses, but the Court Reader failed to record their presence in the diary sheet before procuring the signatures of the learned Link Judge. Out of deference to the complainant???s standing as a senior counsel, and noting his regular personal attendance on previous dates, the Court refrained from entering into a lengthy inquiry and cautioned the Reader to exercise due diligence when recording case diaries during the presiding officer's absence. Accordingly, the matter stands adjourned to 14-11-2026 at 08:30 AM for further proceedings.

This sessions case was instituted upon a direct complaint. The complainant, who is himself an advocate, is present along with his one witness Waqas Arain. His learned counsel is absent. All accused are present on bail, accompanied by the junior associate of their learned counsel. The matter was fixed today for arguments on application U/S 265-K, Cr. PC. The accused side had argued on date before the last date of hearing, while the complainant on said both dates, filed adjournment applications. Today again, instead of arguing, which he is fully capable of doing as an advocate, he sought yet another adjournment, expressing his intention to seek a transfer of the case. It has been observed that proceedings on several prior dates have been disrupted by heated verbal exchanges between the parties. Furthermore, the record reflects that a related matter, Sessions Case No. 129 of 2012, involving the complainant party as accused, is pending before this Court, though its proceedings are currently stayed by the Hon'ble High Court of Sindh, Circuit Court, Hyderabad. The record also indicates a historical pattern: whenever previous Presiding Officers issued directions for expeditious progress in both matters, transfer applications were filed against them, preventing either case from reaching its logical conclusion. Nevertheless, the complainant is at liberty to file a transfer application. Accordingly, the case is adjourned to 29-08-2026 at 8:30 AM with direction that in the event such a transfer application is filed, the complainant shall produce its proof, and in case he fails to do so, the stage of instant matter shall be same (hearing of application U/S 265-K Cr. PC). Hearing of Misc. Applications U/S 265 K Cr.P.C 0 0 ADJ II, Shaheed Benazirabad

This is a Sessions case instituted upon a direct complaint. The complainant, who is himself an advocate, is present along with his witnesses; however, his learned counsel is absent. All accused persons are present on bail, accompanied by the junior associate of their learned counsel. The matter was fixed today for arguments on an application under Section 265-K, Cr. PC. On the previous date of hearing, the accused side concluded its arguments on the said application, while the complainant requested an adjournment to file written arguments on a date of his own choosing, being today (05-08-2026). Instead of filing the same or arguing orally, which he is fully capable of doing as an advocate, he sought yet another adjournment on the ground of his counsel's absence. The Court questioned him regarding these repeated requests for adjournments during the Section 265-K proceedings, as well as his recurring failure on previous dates to enter the witness box and produce his witnesses. In response, he filed an adjournment application alleging that the Court is inclined towards the accused and expressing his intention to seek a transfer of the case. He further objected that two of the accused, who are advocates by profession, should not occupy the advocates' row reserved for addressing the Court but must remain with the other accused, and he sought formal action against them on this account. It has been observed that proceedings on several prior dates have been disrupted by heated verbal exchanges between the parties. Today, one of the accused referred to the complainant as a "criminal," to which the complainant responded in a similarly harsh manner, subsequently seeking action against the accused for the remark. Furthermore, the record reflects that a related matter, Sessions Case No. 129 of 2012, involving the complainant party as accused, is pending before this Court, though its proceedings are currently stayed by the Hon'ble High Court of Sindh, Circuit Court, Hyderabad. The record also indicates a historical pattern: whenever previous Presiding Officers issued directions for expeditious progress in both matters, transfer applications were filed against them, preventing either case from reaching its logical conclusion. Nevertheless, the complainant is at liberty to file a transfer application. Accordingly, the case is adjourned to 10-08-2026 at 8:30 AM with direction that in the event such a transfer application is filed, the complainant shall produce its proof, and in case he fails to do so, the stage of instant matter shall be same (hearing of application U/S 265-K Cr.
