LAHORE: A judicial magistrate on Friday sent owners of Orient Laboratories on a four-day physical remand. The factory owned by the men collapsed resulting in the death of at least 24 workers. Sabzazar police produced the three men before Magistrate Rana Rashid Ali Khan, seeking a 10-day remand on the plea that police have to verify the factory’s license. The investigation officer implored to the court that police have to recover the record of those who had died in the building collapse. The accused’s counsel prayed that the court send his clients on judicial remand, contending that police have nothing to recover. After hearing the arguments, the judge gave a four-day physical remand.

this is completely an illegal step.The judge should take his decision back or want give more then 4 days remand.the blame doesn't go on to the 3 owners.The factory was built strong enough.Not only did the inspection team came to check it out but also the LDA team came to have a look on it.the factory was under work for 30 years and now the opposing party is against it and repeatedly saying that the factory was collapsed just because it wasn't strong !! if the factory itself was not strong so how it was standing for 30 years???? where was the media,LDA teams,government people,Police officers before 30 years.Why did not they take any action against the owners before 15 years?? it is not justice !!! Allah is better seeing everything..........so now He will do justice it's futile to seek help from others.
