Police and interior department officers have been summoned by the Sindh High Court (SHC) in the case of a cattle trader who has been ‘illegally detained’.
Notices were issued to the respondents in the case, including the federal interior secretary, Sindh home secretary, IG Sindh police, DIG Sukkur Range, DPO Naushehro Feroze, DSP Moro and the SHO of PS Moro for January 12 by a division bench of the SHC.
The bench, comprising Justice Munib Akhtar and Justice Salman Hamid, heard the counsel for the petitioner, Mali Khatoon whose son Abdul Wahid Naseerani, a resident of Mohallah Golimar, tehsil and district Kandhkot went missing on November 2, 2011 from Toll Plaza, Moro. Naseerani and a number of villagers were on their way home. The victim had Rs238,000 at the time, which he had earned by selling sacrificial animals.
The other villagers, Muhammad Ali Khoso, Ghulam Nabi Shaikh, Tufail Ahmed and Ghous Bux Shaikh, who were travelling in the same car were reportedly arrested for being in possession of illegal drugs and were booked under the Control of Narcotic Substances Act. The men were produced before the courts and their lawful remand was obtained, while Khatoon’s son was ‘detained illegally’.
