ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Tuesday summoned the Sindh advocate general (AG) and PPO on January 4 in Shahzeb Khan’s murder case who was gunned down in Karachi a week ago.
Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, while taking suo moto notice of the brutal murder of Shahzeb Khan, issued notice to the AG and PPO to appear in person on January 4 and submit report in the case.
The chief justice took notice of the brutal murder on a note initiated by the office, based on press clippings carrying story regarding the brutal murder of 20 years old Shahzeb Khan who was gunned down in Karachi a week ago and police failed to make any progress due to immense political pressure.
The killing mobilised hundreds of the people against unquestioned authority that people with political connection enjoy in the country and gathered outside Karachi Press Club carrying banners and requesting the honourable chief justice of Pakistan for taking suo moto action in the matter for arrest of the accused.
After going through the official note the chief justice directed that that the note be treated as petition under Article 184(3) of the Constitution as it involves violation of the fundamental rights, envisaged under Article 9 of the Constitution and large number of citizens are feeling insecure at the hands of influential persons, who are allegedly involved in the commission of crimes and as stated those persons are politically connected with influential personalities, therefore, no action under the law, seems to have been taken by the law enforcing agencies.
The chief justice while issuing notices to advocate general and IGP, Sindh directed them to appear in person and submit report as to whether FIR in the instant case has been registered and the accused involved in the commission of crime have been arrested. If not, what are the reasons and who is responsible for the same? The chief justice further directed to fix the case in the court on January 4.
