Shc order: Help desk created to follow cases

KARACHI:

The Sindh High Court ordered on Friday that a ‘special desk’ be set up at the office of the advocate general of Sindh to go through the court orders, note the dates and process the case files.

Chief Justice Mushir Alam and Justice Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi listened to a helpless Additional Advocate General say he had not received the file for a case on a missing police constable due to bureaucratic handling at the advocate general of Sindh’s office.

The bench observed with displeasure that the orders of the court were being rather conveniently ignored. It fined them Rs3,000 to be deposited by the Advocate General into the library fund.

The petition was filed by Munni Begum, the mother of police constable Abrar Ahmed, who went missing in October 2008. She was told he was sent to Sehwan on an official assignment.
