Separately, the South additional district and session’s judge summoned the investigation of a case pertaining to attempted murder and police encounter, registered against Lyari gang war leader Uzair Baloch, at the next hearing.

Baloch was presented before the court amid tight security on Friday, when government lawyer Kaleem Ahmed told the court that the police file of the case was not available and the proceedings of cases against Uzair Baloch were under way at Karachi Central Jail.

At that, the court sought any order issued by the home department in connection with jail trial.

Further directing the relevant authorities to provide case copies to the counsel for Uzair Baloch, the court adjourned the hearing till April 10.
