Karachi: The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Friday summoned the Director General of National Database Registration Authority (Nadra) to appear in court for the next hearing in the case of Karachi law and order situation.
The court has adjourned the next hearing until February 25.
A larger bench of the SC headed by Justice Jawwad S Khawaja resumed the hearing on Friday at the court’s Karachi registry.
During the hearing Justice Khilji Arif Hussain remarked that because of the political inclination of the police the public did not trust them.
Inspector General (IG) Sindh police Fayyaz Leghari said that a sum of Rs 10 million had been allotted for ensuring protection to witnesses.
