JAMMU, Nov 22: High Court has stayed the operation of order passed by a Judicial Magistrate in Shopian directing the police for registration of FIR against Deputy Commissioner in an alleged complaint of a person, who is not the resident of Shopian.
The order was passed by Justice Ali Mohammad Magrey while hearing a petition against the order of Judicial Magistrate.
After hearing Advocate A H Malik and Advocate Z A Shah for petitioner and Advocate Mubashir Ahmed and Advocate B A Dar for respondents, Justice Magrey directed that order passed by the Judicial Magistrate Shopian shall stay and record will be examined on next date of hearing.
Pertinently, Judicial Magistrate on the complaint of a political activist had directed the police for registration of FIR in the matter. However, the district administration in a strong statement had clarified that the contents of alleged complaint were far from reality and malafide.
The appellant prayed before High Court that provisions of law have not been complied with and the order has been passed on the basis which is not even mentioned in the complaint and is in total disregard to the orders passed by Supreme and High Court of Jammu and Kashmir.
