This appeal has been filed against the order of acquittal.

Learned Counsel submits that there is no justification for such an order to have been passed by the Trial Court. It is further submitted that the Trial Court could either convict or acquit the accused but could not have directed the complainant to deposit the costs of tickets. The SLA is dismissed with the observation that the last portion of the order directing the complainant to pay the costs of ticket out of his 2 own pocket shall be stand deleted from the main order Anand ( Sheema Ali Khan, J. )
