Karachi: Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on Tuesday asked Advocated General Sindh whether he wanted to save Pakistan or the government.
This observation came during the hearing of the suo motu case regarding the ethnic bloodshed in Karachi by a five-member special bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar at SC Karachi Registry.
During the hearing, Justice Chaudhry asked how many target killers had actually been taken into custody and why they were only identified but not arrested. The AG Sindh told the court that the footages and video of torture cells could only be shown in chamber, as there were some sensitive substances due to which the video could not be shown in the court.
On a court query, he told that Kamran Madhuri, who is involved in an ambush on Police in the Chakra Goth area in Korangi, had been arrested in injured condition along with two accomplices.
The IG police produced a copy of an FIR against Madhuri but the CJ admonished him because the FIR did not mention the name of the suspect. The chief justice remarked that the incident was not an outcome of the ongoing ethnic tensions in the city. Justice Amir Hani Muslim ordered AG Sindh to produce Kamran Madhuri with medical certificate in a court of law. During the hearing, CJ expressed his astonishment that Madhuri had not been named in the FIR of Chakra Goth attack. To which, IG Sindh said that Madhuir was arrested for being involved in the attack on police commandos.
The chief justice also noted that vacancy of judges in eight courts in the city were laying vacant and the government wanted to install its “favourites”.
