Revision and writ is not maintainable against acquittal order in 249A crpc  The Lahore High Court dismissed the writ petition (No. 59534 of 2022) filed by Hajra Javaid Makhdoom. The petitioner had challenged the acquittal of Muhammad Tehmas Nasir under Section 249-A, Cr.P.C., arguing that the trial court's acquittal and subsequent dismissal of a criminal revision were incorrect. The court held that a criminal revision was not an appropriate remedy for challenging an acquittal under Section 249-A, as the proper remedy was an appeal under Section 417(2), Cr.P.C. The court further stated that constitutional petitions under Article 199 are not applicable for challenging orders of acquittal when specific statutory remedies are provided. Consequently, the petition was dismissed.  Form No: HCJD/C-121  ORDER SHEET IN THE LAHORE HIGH COURT, LAHORE.  JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT Writ Petition No. 59534 of 2022 Hajra Javaid Makhdoom Versus Muhammad Tehmas Nasir, etc. S.No. of order/...
