LAHORE (The Thursday Times) — Lahore High Court ne faisla diya hai ke Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) bank customers ke khilaf jaan boojh kar nadehndagi ki karrawai us waqt tak nahin kar sakti jab tak banking court diwani karrawai mein pehle ise sabit na kar de.
Justice Jawad Hassan aur Justice Abid Hussain Chattha par mushtamil bench ne Qaiser Shabbir aur deegar ki darkhwastein manzoor kar lein, jinhon ne Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances) Ordinance 2001 ke tehat maliyati idaron ki shikayat par jari FIA ke notices ko challenge kiya tha. Har muamle mein maliyati idara pehle hi wasooli ka muqaddama kar chuka tha, aur yeh muqaddame ya to faisal ho chuke thay, kai bahami razamandi se, ya appeal ya amal daramad ke marhale mein thay.
Justice Chattha ke tehreer karda faisle mein kaha gaya: “Wasooli ka muqaddama sirf wajib-ul-ada raqam tay karta hai, jaan boojh kar nadehndagi sabit nahin karta.” Bench ne kaha ke faujdari karrawai pehle shuru karne ki ijazat dene se maliyati idaron ko FIR aur giraftariyon ke zariye ghair tay shuda raqoom wasool karne ka jabri hathiyar mil jayega.
Is faisle se qarz khatam nahin hota. Bank ab bhi wasooli ka muqaddama kar sakte hain, aur banking court ke faisle ke baad FIA muamle ki tehqiqat kar sakti hai. Qanoon ke tehat shikayat se pehle 30 din ka adaigi ka notice bhi zaroori hai.
Bench ne 2019 mein Lahore High Court ke teen rukni bench ke Mian Ayaz Anwar case ke faisle se is had tak ikhtilaf kiya jis mein kaha gaya tha ke ordinance ki baaz shaqon ke liye pehle diwani faisle ki zaroorat nahin, is liye yeh sawal dobara adalat mein aa sakta hai.
