Public prosecutors refuse to follow the case saying civil departments have failed to provide them with any support.

Express December 03, 2010

LAHORE: Public prosecutors on Friday refused to follow the Sialkot lynching case in the Lahore High Court (LHC) saying that civil departments have failed to provide them with any support.

Barrister Ehtisham and Advocate Khawaja Sultan informed the provincial home department of their decision expressing their their dissatisfaction over the role played by civil departments in the context of the Sialkot case.

Barrister kifayat | 13 years ago | Reply hello every body from the begining i m deeply studying this case, which is a prima facai case i.e clear. this was a genocide act and the voilation of human rights, voilation of natural rights, voilation of islamic law, voilation of international and domestic law of PAKISTAN. but the problem is that in moderen era PAKISTAN is still following the procedural law of 1860 as amended a bit, nd the second problem in this case is that police (the worst thing in PAKISTANI society) are personally involve in this case.and as for as justice is concerened the PAKISTANI judiciary will never ever give them justice, being an analyst of the PAKISTANI system i have found that the whole system is hollow, and because of injustice of judiciary, criminal acts of police, political treason, army dictatorship, the people becomes an easy victims of conspirators e.g in swat the people wanted to get rid of this system thats why they joined taliban for easy and quick justice. brothers get up and change the system, change the whole scenario, and acheive the true spirit of PAKISTAN THE GREAT. it is our country and we have to fight for it as we fought in past for its independece now we have to finish these murders, to get red of this system, to fight against the conspirators, to be unite for PAKISTAN and live with peace and scerenity.we want peace in our country.i m sorry if i have hurt any body...thanx

User | 13 years ago | Reply Yeah .. It is time for us to move back to the stone age. Thats the only moving on this nation will ever do.

Qaisar | 13 years ago | Reply Unfortunatly,unnecessary delay is happening in this case.courts are bound to follow their old judicial system.and civil nd police department both want to escape from this case.not cooperating with prosecuters.

Dia | 13 years ago | Reply Fortunately there were no petitions in high court otherwise it would have delayed the proceedings. Yet it is alarming in the sense that there is a visible lack of cooperation and resistence from civil department which suggest that there is a lot more to this case than meets the eye. @ Zain I agree, I think the next update would be a bit more detailed regarding the role of the civil department. @ Zaigham. with such a dead conscience you have a very promising future in politics. Go for it. :)..

Naveed | 13 years ago | Reply @Zaigham first of all it is not easy to move on and forget everything..who can move on if this wud have happened to u....and if u cant say anything good then dun say anything at all.... nobody needs ur thoughts...and pray to God that this dosen't happen to ur brothers....

Beens | 13 years ago | Reply @Zaigham: You wouldn't be saying this had it happened to your brothers. Get a conscience or keep that ignorant mouth shut.

Zain S | 13 years ago | Reply @ali it didn't say update anywhere, and i checked before posting. I just think that what exactly the role played by the civil departments was should have been included.

Ali Haider | 13 years ago | Reply Well, we as a nation are not moved unless something happens to us, our family and our close friends. It is very easy for any tom, dick and harry to say, move on. Ask the parents of the kids if they can move on. Nonsense!!!

Ali Abbas Sultan | 13 years ago | Reply Zain, this is an update, AN UPDATE on the case, not an ARTICLE ! It is better to do something than nothing, like rest of the media sources who are more interested in covering other mirch masaala stuff ! Zaigham, what do you want to say ??

ummah | 13 years ago | Reply its not going to hapend anything i think.Its been a long time since this is hapend and they keep on giving dates . May ALLAH give all of us hadayah .

Zain S | 13 years ago | Reply umm is this what they call an article these days?

Dr. Ali Ahmed | 13 years ago | Reply Thankyou PMLN for keepin their promise on protecting their guy!

Prince Shahryar Rana | 13 years ago | Reply Get rid of old orthodoxy's justice system in PAKISTAN.

Ali Abbas Sultan | 13 years ago | Reply Second autopsy report still not shared with media ! Why so called AZAD MEDIA silent on this ??????? Geo / Samaa / Express / Aaj and their anchors .. Thanks E-Tribune for giving coverage to this case on every hearing. I wish reporters of this online site reach out to the heads of civil departments to ask them some really tough questions :(

Ali Abbas Sultan | 13 years ago | Reply Public prosecutors -- a government official who conducts criminal prosecutions on behalf of the state -- refused to follow this case since police and civil departments not cooperating ?? Sue the heads of those departments for deliberately delaying justice ! By the way what could be the motive behind lack of cooperation ? Pressure from police or any political influence ?

Owais | 13 years ago | Reply Shame, shame, shame...

Dia | 13 years ago | Reply The case is being heard in ATC, here it says they've refused to follow it in High Court. Thats vague :s
