Unbecoming Language: Notice issued to Shahdara SHO

LAHORE: The judge of a district and sessions court on Tuesday sought comments from the Shahdara SHO in a woman’s petition seeking the registration of a case against five boys for using unbecoming language. Petitioner Safia Bibi submitted that Tahir, Saif and their friends had a habit of playing cricket in the locality despite being repeatedly forbidden.  She said the boys used to employ unchaste language while playing cricket in the area. Bibi said they had time and again counselled the boys to desist from using unbecoming language to no effect. She said she had approached the Shahdara SHO to have an FIR registered against the boys but he had refused to entertain her request.
