Malik Imtiaz Mahmood Awan, Advocate with Petitioner.
Mr. Muhammad Latif, Additional Prosecutor General for State.
Hafiz Khaliq Ditta Langah, Advocate for Respondent.
Date of hearing: 13.9.2021.
Judgment
Briefly the facts of the case giving rise to the instant criminal revision are that Mst. Ishrat Rasool/Respondent No. 1, as first wife of Muzaffar Nawaz accused/ petitioner, filed a private complaint under Section 6 (5)(b) of The Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961 against said Muzaffar Nawaz contending that she contracted marriage with him on 02.09.2013, during subsistence of that marriage and without getting her permission, Muzaffar Nawaz contracted another marriage with Mst. Sitara Jabeen on 15.04.2015. The said complaint was marked to the Magistrate Section 30, Rahim Yar Khan, who after recording cursory evidence, summoned the accused, framed the charge, recorded evidence of respective parties and on conclusion of trial vide judgment dated 17.05.2019 convicted the accused/petitioner under Section 6(5)(b) of The Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961 and sentenced him to simple imprisonment for three months with fine of five hundred thousand rupees, in case of default in payment of fine, the accused was to further suffer simple imprisonment for two months. Against his said conviction and sentence, the accused/petitioner filed an appeal before the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Rahim Yar Khan, which was dismissed vide judgment dated 12.09.2019, hence, the instant criminal revision.
2. The main stance of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the complaint filed by the respondent could only be tried by the Family Court and not by a Magistrate and here in this case as the complaint was tried by a Magistrate, who had no jurisdiction in the matter, therefore, the entire proceedings including the trial would stand vitiated.
3. On the other hand, learned counsel for complainant/ respondent opposed the above arguments and contended that even if there was some error in the forum of trial, the same stood rectified in appeal before the learned appellate Court. In support of his contentions learned counsel placed reliance on the case “Naseem Akhtar Durrani versus Mst. Abida Sultan and 3 others” (1992 MLD 93), “Ishtiaq Ahmad versus The State and others” (PLD 2017 SC 187), “Bshrat Iqbal versus The State and another” (1993 SCMR 1901)’ “Shaukat Ali versus Kalsoom Akhtar and another” (PLD 1991 Lahore 247) and “Mst. Fauzia Hussain versus Mian Khadim Hussain” (PLD 1985 Lahore 165).
4. After hearing the arguments of learned counsel for the parties, the moot point here in this case turns out to be that what would be the proper forum to try a complaint under Section 6(5)(b) of The Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961 i.e. a Judicial Magistrate simplicitor or necessarily it be a Judge Family Court who may also enjoy the powers of a Judicial Magistrate, as required by Section 20 of the West Pakistan Family Courts Act, 1964 (amended by Family Courts (Amendment) Ordinance 2002)? Before proceeding further relevant provisions i.e. Section 5 and Section 20 (as amended by Family Courts (Amendment) Ordinance 2002) of the West Pakistan Family Courts Act, 1964, are reproduced here under:
S.5. Jurisdiction--- [(1)] Subject to the provisions of the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961, and the Conciliation Courts Ordinance, 1961, the Family Courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to entertain, hear and adjudicate upon matters specified in [Part I of the Schedule.”]
[(2)] Notwithstanding anything contained in the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 (Act V of 1898), the Family Court shall have jurisdiction to try the offences specified in Part II of the Schedule, where one of the spouses is victim of an offence committed by the other.
(3) The High Court may with approval of the Government, amend the schedule so as to alter, delete or add any entry thereto.”]
Section 20 (as amended by Family Courts (Amendment) Ordinance 2002)
[Section 20. Family Court as Judicial Magistrate. - (1) A Family Court shall be deemed as the Judicial Magistrate of the first class under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 (V of 1898) for taking cognizance and trial of any offence under this Act; the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961 (VII of 1961), and the Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929 (XIX of 1929).
(2) A Family Court shall conduct the trial of an offence under subsection (1) in accordance with the provisions of Chapter XXII of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 (V of 1898) relating to the summary trial.
(3) An offence other than contempt of a Family Court shall be cognizable on the complaint of the Union Council, Arbitration Council or the aggrieved party.]
The intention of legislature reflected from the amendment introduced above is to fold all family affairs under an umbrella so that sanctity of family affairs and dignity of spouses could be saved from public exposure in ordinary Courts. The word “exclusive” used in Section 5 makes it vividly clear that no other Court can assume jurisdiction in respect of provisions of Muslim Family Laws Ordinance except the Court constituted under the West Pakistan Family Courts Act, 1964; it is further clarified that only family Court can assume jurisdiction in some offences of PPC as mentioned in Part II of the Schedule, if committed against the spouses. It was the reason that under Section 20 Family Court was authorized to act as Magistrate of 1st Class under Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898. At this stage, the Court would like to specifically refer sub-Article (2) of Article 270AA of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973, inserted by way of Eighteenth Amendment Act, X of 2010, which reads as under:
“270AA (2). Except as provided in clause (1) and subject to the provisions of the Constitution (Eighteenth Amendment) Act, 2010, all other laws including President’s Order, Acts,
Ordinances, Chief Executive’s Orders, regulations, enactments, notifications, rules, orders or bye-laws made between the twelfth day of October, one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine and the thirty-first day of October, two thousand and three (both days inclusive) and still in force shall, continue to be in force until altered, repealed or amended by the competent authority.”
In the presence of above specific saving clause, this Court has been informed that Section 5 and 20 (as amended by Family Courts (Amendment) Ordinance 2002 (LV of 2002) has not been altered, repealed or amended by the competent authority, as such, the same is in vogue and applicable with all force. Furthermore, Article 175(2) of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973 in clear terms provides that:
“No Court shall have any jurisdiction save as is or may be conferred on it by the Constitution or by or under any law.”
Therefore, once it is settled that per force of Section 20 (as amended by Family Courts (Amendment) Ordinance 2002) of the West Pakistan Family Courts Act, 1964, only the family Court had the jurisdiction to try a complaint under Section 6(5)(b) of The Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961; trial conducted by the Magistrate was blatant violation of Article 175(2) of the Constitution, as reproduced above.
5. As a corollary, the offence under Section 6(5)(b) Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961 would only be tried by family Court constituted under West Pakistan Family Courts Act, 1964. The Magistrate has erroneously assumed the jurisdiction; hence, the trial stands vitiated. Consequently, the instant criminal revision is allowed, the judgments of both the Courts below are set-aside and all the proceedings conducted by these Courts are quashed.

There are 4 Stages of Crime as under :
1) intention
2) perparation
3) attempt
4) Accomplishment/ Commission
1. INTENTION
The first important stage of crime is intention. Intention is main element by which a person decides to commit an offence. A mind of a person decides to commit crime, as per law it is said that a person should have mens rea. Mens Rea means perparation commission which a crime is committed. If person have no mens rea he can not be said to have intention for commission of offence. A man without mens rea can not be punished. So the intention is considered as important element to make person punishable. Understanding intention is not an easy task. So it is difficult to punish person based on intention alone.
2. PREPARATION
The second stage of crime is preparation. In this stage the offender have proper plan about how, when and where he is going to commit a crime. He draws the proper map of commission of crime. The proper arrangements are made in order to execute the crime. Preparatory stage in certain case are not punishable as per IPC.
3. ATTEMPT
The fourth stage of crime is attempt. Once preparatory stage is completed the person attempt to commit a crime. An attempt is the direct movement towards the commission of an offence.
4. COMMISSION
The last stage of the crime is commission/ accomplishment. This stage takes place as soon as the offender passes through all the above mention stages. In this stage the offence is successfully completed by the offender. The offender is guilty for whole offence. If the crime is not committed he will be guilty for attempt.
Therefore, it is very important to know about all four stages of crime in order to prove the accused guilty of the offence committed.
1 Intention نيت
جرم کا پہلا اہم مرحلہ نیت ہے۔ نیت بنیادی عنصر ہے جس کے ذریعہ کوئی شخص جرم کرنے کا فیصلہ کرتا ہے۔ کسی شخص کا ذہن جرم کرنے کا فیصلہ کرتا ہے ، قانون کے مطابق یہ کہا جاتا ہے کہ کسی شخص کو مینس ری ہونا چاہئے۔ مینس ریeaا کا مطلب ہے پریپریشن کمیشن جس کا ارتکاب جرم ہوتا ہے۔ اگر کسی کے پاس مینس ری نہیں ہے تو اسے جرم کے کمیشن کا ارادہ کرنے کے بارے میں نہیں کہا جاسکتا ہے۔ بغیر مرد کے کسی آدمی کو سزا نہیں دی جا سکتی۔ لہذا نیت کو انسان کو قابل سزا بنانا اہم عنصر سمجھا جاتا ہے۔ نیت کو سمجھنا کوئی آسان کام نہیں ہے۔ لہذا صرف نیت کی بنیاد پر کسی شخص کو سزا دینا مشکل ہے۔
2. تیاری perparation
جرم کا دوسرا مرحلہ تیاری ہے۔ اس مرحلے میں مجرم کے بارے میں مناسب منصوبہ ہے کہ وہ کس طرح ، کب اور کہاں جرم کرے گا۔ اس نے جرائم کے کمیشن کا مناسب نقشہ کھینچا۔ جرم کو انجام دینے کے لئے مناسب انتظامات کیے جاتے ہیں۔ آئی پی سی کے مطابق کچھ معاملات میں تیاری کا مرحلہ قابل سزا نہیں ہے۔
3. ATTEMPT کوشش
جرم کا چوتھا مرحلہ کوشش ہے۔ ایک بار جب تیاری کا مرحلہ مکمل ہوجاتا ہے تو وہ شخص جرم کرنے کی کوشش کرتا ہے۔ ایک کوشش کسی جرم کے کمیشن کی طرف براہ راست حرکت ہے۔
4۔کمیشن commission
جرم کا آخری مرحلہ کمیشن / کامیابی ہے۔ مذکورہ بالا تمام مراحل میں سے جیسے ہی مجرم گزرتا ہے یہ مرحلہ ہوتا ہے۔ اس مرحلے میں مجرم کے ذریعہ جرم کامیابی کے ساتھ مکمل ہوتا ہے۔ مجرم پورے جرم کے لئے مجرم ہے۔ اگر جرم نہیں ہوتا ہے تو وہ کوشش کے لئے مجرم ہوگا۔
لہذا ، جرم کے چاروں مراحل کے بارے میں جاننا بہت ضروری ہے تاکہ ملزم کو جرم کے مرتکب ہونے کے لئے ثابت کیا جاسکے۔
ریمانڈ اور اس کا طریقہ کار
ریمانڈ سے متعلق تفصیلات جاننے کے لئے ضابطہ فوجداری کی دفعات61، 167 اور344 کا مطالعہ ضروری ہے۔ اس کے ساتھ دفعہ62 اور دفعہ173 کا بھی مطالعہ کرنا چاہئے۔
ریمانڈ کے لفظی معنی واپس بھجوانا ہے۔ فوجداری مقدمات میں ملزم کو پھر حوالات بھیجنا مگر پولیس کے تشدد کی وجہ سے یہ اطلاع بڑی خطر ناک بن چکی ہے۔ جب کوئی شخص گرفتار ہوتا ہے تو پولیس اس کو چوبیس گھنٹے کے اندر مجسٹریٹ کے پاس پیش کرنے کی پابند ہوتی ہے اور مزید عرصے کے لئے زیر حراست رکھنا مطلوب ہو تو پولیس مجسٹریٹ سے تحریری حکم حاصل کرتی ہے اس درخواست کو ریمانڈ کی درخواست کہتے ہیں۔ اگر پولیس24 گھنٹے کے اندر ملزم کو عدالت میں پیش نہیں کرتی اور مزید مناسب حکم حاصل نہیں کرتی تو 24 گھنٹے سے بعد کی حراست غیر قانونی شمار ہوگی۔
(PLD 1960 Pesh 74)
عام طور پر ریمانڈ کی درخواست علاقہ مجسٹریٹ کو دی جاتی ہے تاہم ناگزیر صورت میں ریمانڈ کی درخواست کسی بھی مقامی مجسٹریٹ کو دی جا سکتی ہے۔ مجسٹریٹ جس کے روبرو کسی ملزم کو بغرض ریمانڈ پیش کیا جائے زیادہ سے زیادہ پندرہ دن کا ریمانڈ دے سکتا ہے۔ ہائی کورٹ رولز میں بھی ریمانڈ کے متعلق احکامات اور ہدایات دی گئی ہیں۔ ریمانڈ کی درخواستوں میں قانون یہ ہے کہ مجسٹریٹ کو ملزم کے وکیل یا اسکے رشتہ داروں کو یہ حق دینا چاہئے کہ اگر وہ Remand کے خلاف ملزم کی طرف سے عذرات پیش کرنا چاہتے ہیں تو کر سکتے ہیں۔ ہائی کورٹ کے قواعد میں درج ہے کہ مجسٹریٹ کو لازم ہے کہ وہ ملزم کو وکیل رکھنے کا موقع دے تاکہ وہ وکیل ریمانڈ کے خلاف عذرات پیش کر سکے۔
مجسٹریٹ کے لئے ضروری ہے کہ وہ اس بات کا تعین کرے کہ آیا ملزم کا پولیس کے قبضہ میں دیا جانا ضروری ہے یا نہیں۔اگر مجسٹریٹ محسوس کرے کہ ملزم کو پولیس کی حراست میں مزید رکھنا ضروری نہیں ہے تو وہ ریمانڈ کا حکم صادر کرنے سے انکار کر سکتا ہے۔
(PLD 1979 Lah 587)
وہ ملزم جس کے خلاف مقدمہ زیر تجویز ہو ریمانڈ پر صرف پولیس اسٹیشن میں رکھا جا سکتا ہے کسی اور جگہ نہیں ورنہ یہ اقدام غیر قانونی ہوگا۔ریمانڈ کے لئے ضروری ہے کہ ملزم کو مجسٹریٹ کے روبرو حاضر کیا جائے۔ مجسٹریٹ کا خود مقامنظر بندی تک جانا غیر قانونی ہے۔
(PLD 1965 Lah 336)
ملزم کے رشتہ داروں کو دوران ریمانڈملزم کو کھانا یا لباس مہیا کرنے سے بھی منع نہیں کیا جا سکتا۔
