ORDER 
 
  
Qazi Muhammad Amin Ahmed, J.-  Through leave of 
the Court, impugned herein is judgment dated 4.11.2013, whereby 
a learned Judge-in-Chambers of Peshawar High Court proceeded 
to quash First Information Report No.5 dated 6.11.2011 registered 
with Police Station Anti-Corruption Establishment, Charsada. The 
controversy revolves around a dispute over immovable property; it 
was set off by Javed Khan, appellant being attorney of the owner.  
Learned Additional Advocate General, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is in a 
unison with the appellant to maintain that there was hardly an 
occasion for the learned Judge to quash the First Information 
Report structured upon allegations/evidence that warranted 
investigative as well as judicial scrutiny. Learned counsel for the 
respondent has not faced the appellant or the learned Law Officer 
with much enthusiasm and instead prays for opportunity to re-
agitate the plea before appropriate forums at the relevant time.  
Criminal Appeal No.11-P/2014

Criminal appeal is allowed, impugned judgment dated 
4.11.2013 by the learned Judge-in-Chambers is set aside, while 
keeping respondents’ options wide open to re-agitate their plea, if 
so advised; bail granted to them shall hold field.
