The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday delayed the indictment of Sindh Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ghulam Haider Jamali in a contempt of court case.
A three-member SC bench headed by Justice Amir Hani Muslim heard the case.
During the course of proceedings, counsel for the Sindh government Shahid Anwar Bajwa told the court that the IGP had not submitted the apology as per the court’s observation.
Advocate Irfan Qadir also appeared before the court and stated that he would represent the Sindh IGP in the case. The IGP had filed an appeal against the contempt of court proceedings and the court could not indict his client until a decision on the application was given, he pleaded.
Shahid Anwar said that the Sindh police would be demoralised due to the indictment of the Sindh IGP.
The bench remarked that the court could not accept any illegal step.
The court dismissed Shahid Anwar’s plea to become prosecutor in the case and adjourned hearing of the case until February 17.
