Supreme Court (SC) Monday resumed the hearing of suo motu case regarding lawlessness at its Karachi Registry in the metropolis.
A five-member bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Muhammed Chaudhry is hearing the case.
The bench comprises of Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali, Justice Sarmad Jalal Usmani, Justice Amer Hani Muslim and Justice Ghulam Rabbani.
According to a private television channel, the proceedings began with the arguments by Iftikhar Hussain Gilani, counsel of Awami National Party (ANP). Gilani said innocent people of the city were being butchered through gang war. He stressed secret agencies were not functioning to the their capacity, despite availing heavy remunerations and that the lawlessness in Karachi is not an ethnic issue as the detained terrorists have disclosed that they were trained in India. Gilani also submitted a report of secret agencies about an arrested killer Ajmal Pahari.
The chief justice queried as to why Sindh’s former Senior Minister Dr. Zulfiqar Mirza kept mum for so long and what was his motive now in bringing to the fore the entire situation.
Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry also said that the police and Rangers can take steps to control lawlessness in Karachi, but they have failed to do so. He said the court wants to know why were these law and order problems persisting in Karachi, and also how can the people be protected in absence of the supremacy of the law.
Special arrangements have been put in place to ensure foolproof security at the court’s premises.
