No. 145/94, Annexure "A". The petitioners have moved this petition for quashment of the aforesaid F.I.R. On the ground that there was no evidence to connect the accused with the commission of the crime. Mst. Kaneez Fatima, petitioner No. l stated before the Court that she was abducted when she was sleeping with other members of her family in her house. She has further disclosed that she was compelled to marry petitioner No.2, Mukhtar Ahmad after the aforesaid occurrence. She has expressed her desire to accompany her brother and sisters who are present in Court. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and petitioner No.1, Mst. Kaneez Fatima, I am of the view that no case for quashment of the impugned F.I.R. has been made out: The petition is accordingly dismissed being without any substance. Mansab Khan, S.H.O. is present with record of the case and has been directed to provide full protection to Mgt. Kaneez Fatima and her family.
