Peshawar: A judicial inquiry would be conducted if any new polio case registered and action would be taken against the responsible, Peshawar High Court Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan said.
He said families of polio victims would be compensated by the government. He was speaking at the inauguration ceremony held here on Saturday at Peshawar High Court in connection with the three-day National Immunisation Campaign starting from April 23-25.
Highlighting the steps taken by the judiciary for promotion of awareness among all the concerned stakeholders for polio eradication, Justice Dost Muhammad Khan said that all bars, district and session judges had been taken on board for displaying banners in order to disseminate the information and importance of the campaign.
He said that a proposal was under consideration that every petition in the court should be entertained only if the petitioner gives an undertaking in writing that all the kids in his home have been vaccinated against polio.
