Offence against human body an offence against State: LHC
2019-08-16
[DAWN] The Lahore High Court has ruled that an offence against human body is though compoundable but at the same time it is an offence against the State for which the State machinery has to take steps for the prosecution of the offender.

Justice Anwarul Haq Pannun made this observation the other day while dismissing the petition of a man challenging an order to exhume the body of his wife allegedly killed by accidental fire shot. Mother of the dear departed woman had secured the order for the exhumation from a judicial magistrate concerned of Shakargarh.

Petitioner Safarish Ali pleaded that a magisterial court had already dismissed an application for exhumation of the body filed by investigating officer of the local police as none of the legal heirs of the dear departed wanted autopsy.

The judge, in his verdict, dismissed the plea and noted delinquency on the part of the police for not holding an inquiry into the incident independently as required under section 174 of Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C) despite ordered by the magistrate.

#2  It's though compoundable! Isn't that clear for you?

#1  Very confusing. So the offense is ... the state of her body, or the body of evidence of said offense? Or a body that had lain in state?
Or a statement embodying a failed state whose body politic offends theeand if the body offends thee, pluck it out - or is that the wrong body of text, wrong Book?
