Mr. Usama Mehmood, Advocate, appearing on behalf of Mr. Irfan Ali Chang, learned counsel for the applicant, who is stated to be out of station, prays for an adjournment of the instant proceedings. The record now reflects the Final Medico -Legal Certificate furnished by the Medical Officer, THQ Hospital, Kot Ghulam Muhammad, which unambiguously discloses that Injury No.5, amongst the injuries enumerated therein, has been classified as Jurh-e-Ghayr-Jaifah Hashimah, an offence squarely falling within the ambit of Section 337 -F(v), P.P.C., and thus constituting a cognizable offence as per schedule II of Cr.P.C. It is pertinent to note that the order dated 22.06.2026, passed by the learned Additional Sess ions Judge -II/Ex-Officio Justice of Peace, Mirpurkhas, whereby the application preferred

by respondent No.4 under Sections 22 -A and 22 -B, Cr.P.C. was allowed to the limited extent of directing the concerned SHO to record the statement of the applicant/resp ondent No.4 in terms of Section 154, Cr.P.C., stands upheld by this Court in the instant proceedings. Given that the Final Medico -Legal Certificate, on its face, discloses the commission of a cognizable offence, the prayer for adjournment advanced on behal f of learned counsel for the applicant is found devoid of merit and is accordingly declined. In consequence thereof, the instant Criminal Miscellaneous Application along with listed application(s) is dismissed, with a direction to the concerned SHO to record the statement of the applicant/respondent No.4 under Section 154, Cr.P.C., strictly in accordance with the mandate of law. It is, however, categorically observed that the impugned order is not vitiated by any illegality, irregularity, or jurisdictional infirmity so as to warrant interference by this Court in exercise of its supervisory jurisdiction. Let a copy of this order be transmitted forthwith to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Mirpurkhas, for strict and unfailing compliance.
