Supreme Court of Pakistan resumed the Joseph Colony, Badami Bagh suo moto case hearing today.
A three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was hearing the suo moto notice of the incident, in which over 100 homes were ransacked and set ablaze by an angry mob on March 9 after an individual from the area was accused of blasphemy.
In the interim order the apex court stated that Inspector General Police Punjab had failed in providing security to 220 homes. The court has sought answers to what steps have been taken to stop such attacks in the future, why residents were displaced and why they were not provided security.
During proceedings, advocate general Punjab, Ashtra Ausauf presented the report on Gojra incident and said the investigation was conducted behind closed-doors, however, the report was present on the website.
On this, the chief justice remarked that although the proceedings of judicial commission are carried out in close-door meetings, but its recommendations are for the masses.
He said the common man should know the reasons behind the incident, adding the purpose of the judicial commission would not be complete if people did not know its findings.
On Monday, the Supreme Court rejected the Punjab government’s report on Joseph Colony incident.
The initial report of the incident was presented by the advocate general, according to which compensation had been paid to the victims of Joseph Colony.
The Chief Justice remarked that providing compensation was the government’s responsibility and asked why precautionary measures were not taken if there was information pertaining to the attack.
His Lordship The CJP has no real power but he and the Supreme Court has the moral authority to say what common human decency demands and the law commands….JUSTICE!
