LAHORE:
An additional district and sessions judge on Saturday sought comments from the Gulshan-i-Ravi SHO on a petition filed by a woman seeking a case against her husband for beating her. Petitioner Zahida Bibi submitted that she had married Shabbir Ahmed three years ago and that they had a child. She said she had left the house because he would beat her. She said she had later reunited with him following mediation by her family. A few days ago, she said, Ahmed had again beaten her. She said she had requested the SHO to take action against her husband but he had done nothing in this regard. She requested the court to direct the SHO to register an FIR against him.
