| 2005-03-29 |
| The Lahore High Court on Monday ordered a deputy superintendent of police (DSP) to book 17 officers, including the SHO of Saddar Jalalpur Jattan police station, one Elite Force inspector, five sub-inspectors (SI), five assistant sub-inspectors and five constables for murdering a citizen in a fake encounter. Sounds like a real encounter to me, but for fake reasons Petitioner Ghulam Nabi submitted to the court that his son Ghulam Mustafa was returning from Islamabad on March 2 when he had a heated exchanged with an Elite Force inspector. The inspector had killed his son with the help of accomplices. Advocate Azam Nazir Tarar opposed the petitioner and said that the challan of the case had already been filed before the trial court. However, the court ordered a DSP to book the 17 cops in the murder case, file a copy of the FIR and inform the court by March 30. The accused police officers include SHO Gulam Sarwar, SIs Muhammad Inayat, Muhammad Imanat, Mehdi Khan, Shaukat and Shafiq, ASIs Ijaz, Rashid, Arshad Cheema, Muhammad Tufail and Khadim Hussain. LHC issues warrants for tehsildar: The LHC has issued arrest warrants for a Mandi Bahauddin tehsildar for contempt of court. He illegally transferred a piece of land to a patwari's son despite court orders barring him from doing so. The court also directed the sessions judge of Mandi Bahauddin to ensure the appearance of the tehsildar on April 8. Petitioner Sakina contended that tehsildar Irfan Bhatti, with the connivance of patwari Ali Abbas, transferred 19 kanals and 14 marlas to Ijaz Ahmed. and a partridge in a pear tree |
