The Supreme Court (SC) Chief Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani called for a report on Monday from the Sindh Police IG on the alleged illegal occupation of the land of a Hindu temple by Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) members in Hyderabad.
Earlier, Jillani had taken notice of reports in the media regarding protest by the members of the religious minority against the occupation, and the subsequent sale, of the land of their temple.
The protesters accused certain PPP political leaders of illegally occupying and then selling the land of the temple of Kali Mata for Rs15 million. They had sent complaints to the concerned authorities in the provincial government, but to no avail.
Additional IG Ali Sher Jakhrani submitted that he has called for a report from the Hyderabad DIG over the matter and sought further time to furnish the report by Tuesday. Allowing the request, the SC bench directed him to file the report.

'Minority Rights' is an oxymoron - not just in Pakistan; but all Islamic countries!
He wants to know why ?.........because the superior judiciary lack the will to do right and punish the guilty.......as such criminals function with impunity.
Dear CJ , why are you ignorant about demolishing of Hindu temple going to sell in recent Govt. regime . This is isn't far away, just near Jhang at mozaa bhag
I hope Modi just gives blanket Asylum and/or permanent residence-ship to all the Hindus(and Sikhs) of Pakistan.
India is their cultural home, they have a right to return to be in India as any other Indian.
@Mirza: Ofcourse,how could pseudo-seculars,like corruption party be at fault!
@hmm: I suspect you were educated at a madarasah where they brainwashed you in thinking that all the wrongs happenning to a muslim is someone's fault. I live in UK and have now accepted that the Indians have moved much ahead of us and the muslims of India have done much better then the muslims of Pakistan. You may well ask, where is my proof? To support my theory here it is and it is of 2002: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2002/feb/20/race.immigrationpolicy Things have become even worse since then because in crime we top the list in every jail in Europe and America. We have failed, period.
Mirza saab, ignorance is bliss! With your logic, there shouldn't be a mosque in any country apart from muslim countries??? Will that be prudent? Wake up my dear friend, sanity doesn't harm but being insame certainly does.
I think he should rather talk about unjust killings that happened in Lahore & the daily target killings in Karachi. Temples, mosques, churches etc are not the issue right now! As for Indian trolls, first give justice to Muslims & Kashmiris in your country then come here & preach us!
CJ asks why the temple land was sold off? Because it is our Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
Pakistan and Muslims in general made a song and dance over the abandoned Babri mosque being demolished. How many temples/churches/gurdwaras have been destroyed in Pakistan since 1947? Which is why Pakistan has zero credibility on every single issue.
Oh hes alive!!!
