CDA Stray Dog Population Centre: Institutional Accountability and FIR 1626/25

This accountability report focuses on Case HRPM-MLORJ30M, involving Parishay Khan and the Capital Development Authority (CDA) in Islamabad. The case, centered around an incident at the Stray Dog Population Control Centre, has resulted in FIR No. 1626/25 at Shahzad Town Police Station. The investigation highlights a breakdown in municipal accountability and the subsequent criminalization of private citizens who challenge institutional mismanagement.

Key Findings

Misuse of PPC: The application of Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) charges against Parishay Khan appears disproportionate to the incident, suggesting a retaliatory motive by local authorities.

Structural Negligence: Documentation suggests the CDA's animal control facility failed to meet basic welfare and safety standards, leading to the conflict in question.

Procedural Inconsistency: The rapid submission of the Challan U/S 173 Cr. P.C for Farzana Bashir Marwat vs. The State indicates a prioritized prosecution that contrasts with the typical delays in Islamabad’s civil disputes.

Institutional Analysis

The CDA and the District Courts (East) of Islamabad are central to this narrative. The CDA, as the regulatory body, bears responsibility for the operation of the Population Control Centre. Case data suggests that instead of addressing operational failures, the institution has leveraged the police (Shahzad Town Station) to suppress dissent through FIR 1626/25. The upcoming hearing on 2026-02-20 before Ahtsham Muqarrab remains a critical point for judicial transparency.

Legal Framework

PPC Section 173: Dealing with documentation and the submission of police reports.

Article 14 of the Constitution: Inviolability of dignity of man.

UDHR Article 12: Protection against attacks upon honor and reputation.

Recommendations

An independent audit of the CDA Stray Dog Population Control Centre’s budget and operational protocols.

A judicial review of FIR 1626/25 to determine if state machinery is being used to settle personal or administrative vendettas.

Transparency in the upcoming criminal trial scheduled for February 2026.
