The Lahore High Court on Monday adjourning hearing of plea against killing of nine persons of a family in three different encounters till November 12, sought an enquiry report from District and Sessions Judge. Justice Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi passed the order on a petition by Saleema Bibi against killing of his five sons including Malik Shahid, Malik Zahid, Malik Majid, Malik Adnan and Malik Imran and four other relatives in three different police encounters on September 18.
Earlier, a provincial law officer submitting a reply on behalf of the Punjab home secretary told the court that D&SJ was conducting an enquiry into the matter and statements of five people had been recorded but more time was required to complete it.
The petitioner, in her petition, submitted that his son, Imran, and two other relatives including Jamshaid and Awais were killed in a police encounter within the limits of Chung Police Station on September 18. He claimed that the encounter was fake as the FIR indicated that no policeman received a single scratch in the encounter. She pointed out that police killed two of her other sons including Zahid and Majid and their relative Ramzan in another encounter within the limits of Burewala, Vehri. She also claimed that her two other sons, Malik
Shahid and Malik Adnan, were killed in an encounter within limits of Adaadpur, District Rahim Yar Khan.
