The Supreme Court on Wednesday disposed of a suo motu notice taken into the Badami Bagh incident.
A three-member bench – headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry – heard the case during which the Punjab prosecutor general submitted a report, saying that the case had been registered against Sawan Masih, the blasphemy accused, and 55 others involved in ransacking the neighbourhood. The report said two SHOs, DSPs and the SP had been found involved .
The report added that the area SHO had been removed from his post for his failure to act responsibly.
Punjab IG Aftab Sultan told the court that colonies where non-Muslims were lived were being protected and efforts were being made to make them more secure.
After receiving the report, the SC disposed of the case.
