Karachi: The federal government was not interested in the deteriorating law-and-order situation of Karachi, the Supreme Court of Pakistan said in its detailed verdict issued on Friday.
A larger bench of the SC headed by Justice Jawwad S Khawaja resumed the hearing on Friday at the court’s Karachi registry.
The apex court in its six-page verdict also ordered Advocate General to submit a report on the provision of security to the business activities and the measures against unlawful strikes in the city.
The SC also tasked IG of Sindh Police with a detailed report on the 400 police officers reportedly involved in criminal activities.
The top court also sought a report on the disciplinary action and subsequent court proceedings against the corrupt police officers.
SC also decreed that the report of member inspection team should be handed over to the IGP.
It was the same report which revealed that there were at least 400 officers in Sindh police who were actively involved in crimes.
Earlier in the day, the SC summoned the Director General of National Database Registration Authority (Nadra) to appear in court for the next hearing on February 25.
