CCPO told to take action against SHO
Action against SHO under the Police Order of 2002 for not complying with the court’s orders.
LAHORE:
Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Hussain Sial on Monday directed the city’s police chief to take action against the Samanabad station house officer (SHO) under the Police Order of 2002 for not complying with the court’s orders.
The judge also directed the capital city police officer (CCPO) to ensure the SHO implements the court’s order in letter and spirit.
At previous hearings, the SHO had been directed to record the petitioner’s complaint and investigate it. If he found the petitioner to be lying, he was to register a case against them under Section 182 (giving false statement to a public servant to cause him to use his legal power to injure someone) of the Pakistan Penal Code.
Petitioner Fauzia Rasheed told the court that a man named Chaudhry Naveed had browed Rs7 million from her husband. On January 3, Naveed had given them a cheque to repay the loan, but it bounced. The couple then approached the SHO to register a case against Naveed, but he refused. The judge sought comments from the SHO on the petition and later summoned him, but he ignored the court’s directions. The petitioner later filed a compliance petition stating that the SHO was still refusing to hear their complaint or comply with the court’s orders.
