♦It was held in Salman Khalid vs. The State etc., reported in PLD 2020 Lahore 97, decided by Anwaar-ul-Haq Pannun, Judge, that ---♦
High Court provided guidelines for proceeding with cases u/s 489-F, PPC, involving compromise at Pre~arrest or post arrest Bail stage stated.
Following are the guidelines as provided by the High Court:.
راضی نامہ تحریری اور دستخط شدہ ہونا چاہیے
(i) A compromise deed shall be in writing and duly signed or thumb marked by the accused as well as the person in whose favour, the dishonoured cheque was issued by the accused or any other person duly authorized by the payee
ملزم کے وکیل، یا اس کے نامزدشدہ شخص کے بیان کو قلمبندکیاجائے۔
(ii) In case of post arrest bail, the Court seized with the Bail application due to the accused being in jail, shall also record the statement of the counsel, representing accused or any other person duly authorized by the accused for this purpose.
ضمانت کی سطح پر راضی نامہ کی تمام شرائط عدالت کو واضح کردینی چاہیے، اور ملزم شرائط کی تابع داری کرے گا۔
(iii) The Court, while giving effect to the compounding character of the offence, at Bail stage shall reflect the terms and conditions of the compromise in its Bail granting order besides clearly stating that the accused shall only be entitled to enjoy the liberty, he has earned by way of concession of bail, provided he honours the terms of compromise deed.
ملزم راضی نامہ میں بیان کردہ تاریخ کے اندر اندر واجب ادا رقم اداکرےگا۔اگررقم ادانہ کی، تو ضمانت کی رعایت سے محروم ہوسکتاہے۔البتہ مدعی رحم دلی کا مظاہرہ بھی کرسکتاہے۔
(iv) The accused shall make payment of amount of cheque or settled b/w the parties, to the payee on the date fixed in compromise deed or in case of any exigency within next three days. In case of any default, even in making payment of any installment, the accused shall lose his right to enjoy the concession of Bail. The complainant, however may show grace and accept any request on part of the accused for extension of time.
اگرمقررہ وقت تک رقم نہ دی، تو ضمانت نامہ منسوخی کیے بغیر ہی ضمانت منسوخ تصورہوگی۔
(v) In case of default, in absence of a consent of the complainant, for extension of time, in making the payment of amount settled b/w the parties through compromise, the Bail granting order shall be deemed to have been vacated automatically on the expiry of date fixed.
راضی نامہ پر عمل نہ کرنا، موقف سے انحراف تصورہوگا، اور ضمانت کا غلط استعمال گردانہ جائےگا
(vi) After seeking relief of Bail on the basis of compromise, the Non~compliance of its terms and conditions will amount to breach of commitment and misuse of concession of Bail by the accused for the period he enjoy the said concession in the form of liberty instead of facing the rigors of jail.
مدعی ضمانت منسوخی کی بجائے ٹرائل کورٹ کو متفرق درخواست دے کہ راضی نامہ کی خلاف ورزی کی گئی ہے،اور ٹرائل کورٹ ملزم کو دوبارہ گرفتارکرواسکتی ہے۔
(vii) The complainant shall not be obliged to file a formal application for cancellation of Bail u/s 497(5) CrPC either before the trial Court or before any higher Court which had passed the Bail granting order. However, the complainant, in case of default in making payment by the accused, may file only a miscellaneous application before the trial Court inviting its attention towards the default made by the accused, thereupon, learned trial Court shall pass an order for committing the accused to custody.
یہ راضی نامہ کی ایک علیحدہ قسم کے طور پرٹرائل کورٹ ریکارڈ مرتب کرے۔
(viii) All the trial Courts seized with the trial/ proceedings for the offence u/s 489-F, PPC, shall prepare a separate category of compromise cases with some special identity so that the case may be dealt with, in terms of Bail granting order.
اگرراضی نامہ پر موثر عمل ہوتاہے، تو کاروائی مقدمہ اختتام کوپہنچ سکتی ہے۔ایسا عدالت درخواست پربھی کرسکتی ہے، اور ازخود کاروائی پربھی ایسا قدم اُٹھاسکتی ہے.
(ix) In case, the trial Court, is satisfied that the terms of the compromise have been fulfilled and acted upon, the Court, on its own motion or on the application of either party shall give effect to the compromise, by way of termination of proceedings in the case.

JUDGMENT

MUNIBAKHTAR, J.---The facts, brieflystated, are that the present respondent No. 1 filed a suit for specificperformance of an agreement to sell regarding the subject property, against thevendor, one Dost Muhammad. The vendor filed his written statement and issue wasjoined between the parties. During the pendency of the suit Dost Muhammadpurported to transfer the property to his wife by way of gift and it was thensubsequently sold to the present petitioners who are therefore the realinterested, and hence contesting, parties. The suit was dismissed but an appealagainst the same was allowed by the learned Additional District Judge, whodecreed the suit. The present petitioners filed an appeal before the learnedHigh Court, which was dismissed by means of the impugned judgment. Hence thisleave petition.

2. Beforeus the principal point taken for the petitioners was that the agreement to sellwas not properly proved in evidence. Indeed, in the leave petition fourquestions of law are said to arise out of the impugned judgment, and the firsttwo relate to this point. Now, the record and in particular the pleadings ofthe parties clearly show that the vendor (i.e., the original contestingdefendant) did not deny ex*****on of the agreement to sell. A fact admittedneed not be formally proved. Reliance in this regard was correctly sought to beplaced on Muhammad Iqbal v. Mehboob Alam 2015 SCMR 21, where (at pg. 25) thissettled principle of law has been reiterated. Indeed, the cited judgment wasalso in relation to a suit for specific performance and the admission of theagreement to sell in the written statement. It was also sought to be arguedthat the relief of specific performance, being discretionary in nature, couldnot be claimed as of right and could be withheld in appropriate circumstances.It was submitted that such was the case at hand. With respect, we are unable toagree. Nothing has been shown as would lead to such a conclusion on the factsand circumstances of the case, as established by the pleadings of the partiesand the evidence led at the trial. In our view, the learned appellate forumshave reached the correct conclusions and the impugned judgment of the learnedHigh Court does not call for any interference.

3. Inview of the foregoing, leave to appeal is refused and the petition standsdismissed.

MWA/M-8/SC Petitiondismissed.
