It takes four years to lodge an FIR:The Dawn, Nov 1

LARKANA, Oct 31: On the intervention of the Supreme Court, a murder case has been registered four years after the killing.
The FIR of the murder case of Asif Ali Gopang, who was killed in July 2005 in Larkana, was registered on Saturday against eight people.
Talking to journalists, complainant Mukhtiar Ali Gopang, father of deceased, alleged that Malik Mohammed Ayaz Awan, an official at Hyderabad post office, bore grudge against him after he had sent proofs of his corruption to the high ups.
Mukhtiar alleged that Malik Ayaz in connivance with some people killed his son on July 16, 2005, and threw the body in the Rice Canal.
When approached, Mukhtiar said, the then SHO of Taluka, inspector Syed Asif Shah, refused to register an FIR.
“Since then I approached several officials to secure justice but to no avail. Finally I sent an application to the chief justice of the Supreme Court who asked the Sindh IG to send a report about the murder case,” Mukhtiar said.
The IG asked Larkana DIG Sanaullah Abbasi to send a report about the case, he said, adding that the IG immediately took action.
The former SHO was arrested and his name was incorporated in the FIR on the charge of negligence, Mukhtiar said.
Those nominated in the FIR registered under sections 302, 201, 217, 218, 342, 34 and 120-B of the PPC with Taluka police station include Ayaz Awan, Gul Mohammad Shaikh, Taj Mohammad Shaikh, Shafi Mohamnmad Shaikh, Imtiaz Ali Gopang, Irfan Ali Gopang and Sarfraz Gopang.
The complainant said that the Shaikhs and the Gopangs were involved in a land dispute with him. http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/the-newspaper/national/it-takes-four-years-to-lodge-an-fir-119
