Anti-bail appeal in LHC
Punjab government files appeal in LHC against the bail of former DPO involved in the Sialkot lynching case.
The Punjab Government has filed appeal against the bail of Waqar Chauhan.
Chief Justice of the Lahore High Court (LHC) constituted a division bench on Monday to hear the Punjab government’s appeal against bail granted to former DPO Sialkot Waqar Ahmad Chohan.
Chohan is accused of patronising the brutal lynching of two brothers in Sialkot. An anti-terrorism court of Gujranwala had released Chohan on bail on furnishing a surety bond of Rs100,000.
The government had filed an appeal through Advocate Ehtisham Qadir, pleading that Chohan was not entitled for concession of bail as his role had been dubbed as a supervisor in the case.
The appeal said that the former DPO had deliberately allowed the angry mob to lynch the two teenaged brothers Hafiz Mughees and Muneeb. The DPO had also not summoned an ambulance to remove the bodies of the deceased brothers and instead let the mob desecrate them.

saimaRecommend
His bail should be cancelled on immediate basis!!!! He shouldnt have been granted bail in the first place He is equally responsible for the murder of the innocent brothers, He should be punished as per law.Recommend
Petition Filed in Khawaja Court. Its Political Gimmick. Poor DPO is being made scapegoat for Lynching of Guys. Ommission can not be confused with Commission.Recommend
A CIVILIZED JUNGLE’ LAWRecommend
This man, he is the principal culprit…Recommend
he should be equally punished, he neglected his duties which resulted in a murder of two innocent people. if he had taken the quick action, they would be alive. Recommend
i have read all the reports and news articles about this DPO he was not just negligent but he was THE PRIME PARTICIPANT in the brutal killing i would say he should be executed or atleast should serve life time That was not negligence what he i believe NEGLIGENCE was when he was offered a bail he didnt do a humanely job by getting those HAfiz-QURAN brutaly killed so he shouldnt be treated as human being he doesnt deserve it PLAIN and SIMPLERecommend
Yet people go on to defend him!! I’m not surprised.. its these people who’ve brought us to this state!Recommend
This guy deserves the same treatment as he supported for those two young boys….
bail should be cancelled immediately and he should get expelled from Police….Recommend
such cruel person should be arrestad .he is big boss of the killersRecommend
May be all of you are right but don’t u guys think its selective Justice? What about poor Trader of Jalal-pur-Jattan who was stoned to Death by rowdy lawyers. Why there was not sufficient Media coverage and why Suo Moto action was taken Neither by Ifthikar Chaudhry nor By Khawaja Court? We being sane citizens shud not be carried away by What Media shows and need not to be Vindictive against certain class.Recommend
By the way there was commission of offence by Lawyers in Jala-pur-Jattan incident and Ommission on part of DPO Sialkot. Commission is supposed to treated severely than ommission. Think and then decide??????Recommend
Lawyers committed crime and DPO is responsible for Ommission. Who should be treated Harshly?????? Think and then Decide!Recommend
Both should be treated harshly!!! No one’s being kind to the lawyers I guess.. this peice of news is particularly related to sialkot incident and DPO.. where do the lawyers come in?Recommend
Both should be treated harshly. And who’s defending lawyers here? This topic is related to sialkot incident and DPO’s bail where do the lawyers come in?Recommend
DPO’s news is there since ages and Lawyers incident vanished from our minds within days though that took place after the Sialkot Incident. This is what I meant to say. judiciary and Mians are playing just with Gallery and don’t want to confront or Offend lawyers. Isn’t this selective Justice???????????Recommend
Hmm I’d let the judiciary and mians answer that.. as for us people, they’re both fresh. This one in particular as it was witnessed by the whole world! This case definitely had a higher profile than the other one. Its human nature that you’re less likely to forget something that you’ve watched in comparison to something you’ve heard. Police is to be condemned here in this matter cos they just stood idly and watched though its their job to provide security that’s what they’re paid for. Recommend
By the way Romm, is this malice towards judiciary or soft corner for chohan?Recommend
Totally agreed that Chohan is the PRINCIPLE CULPRIT not the scapegoat or any kind of politics, Romm u don’t know about corrupt Police system in Pakistan??? These corrupt and morally degraded police officers should be made example for others, who think they are UNTOUCHABLES.
Think, who was incharge at that time??? WAQAR CHOHANRecommend
Nadi, one just needs to go through the recent crimes reported on ET and one would know how poorly miserable our police department is.. I feel sorry for them really :>Recommend
