Chief Justice Aalia Neelum from Lahore High Court (LHC) has set aside a district court order that directs the registration of a first information report (FIR) against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s son, Suleman Shehbaz, in a check -in vanary case.
The Supreme Court found that the lower court failed to correctly investigate the facts of the case correctly.
Suleman Shehbaz had contested on July 10th order issued by the district judge, who instructed police to register a four against him on charges of issuing a jumped check.
During the LHC procedure, Suleman’s lawyer claimed that the decision of the court was not only contrary to the law, but also adopted without a proper review of the actual background.
The respondent’s lawyer claimed that Suleman’s company had purchased 17 laptops and issued a check for Rs 600,000 in payment, which was later disgraceful.
However, Suleman’s advice counteracted that no laptops were ever delivered to the company’s office. He also argued that the controls in question were stolen by business employees and wrongfully handed over to the respondent. A four had already been registered against these individuals, he added.
“The company has no connection with these controls,” the lawyer claimed.
Chief Justice also questioned the respondent’s legal team so as not to specify the date of the alleged purchase of laptop. She noted that no purchase receipts wore any official stamp either.
After hearing arguments from both sides, Chief Justice gave up in favor of the petitioner and canceled the order’s order.
