Ghalib Market: SHO accused of ignoring court orders
a cheque for Rs50,000 was tampered and changed to Rs150,000 cheque.
LAHORE:
Additional District and Sessions Judge Anjum Raza on Thursday directed the capital city police officer to hold a departmental inquiry into the Ghalib Market station house officer’s apparent refusal to comply with court orders.
Ramazan, a resident of Gulberg, had filed a contempt petition contending that the SHO had ignored court orders to record his cheque fraud complaint.
According to Ramazan’s petition, he had given a man named Sajid a cheque for Rs50,000, but he had tampered with it and changed it into a Rs150,000 cheque. The cheque bounced and Sajid then lodged a case against him. Ramazan was arrested. After he got bail, he moved the court seeking a cheque tampering case against Sajid.
Ramazan said the court had ordered the SHO to record his statement, but the SHO had ignored the court’s orders.
