Sindh High Court Chief Justice Musheer Alam has put the Jhuddo police on notice for May 21 in a petition filed by Heeri, who is now called Saima as she has converted to Islam.
Saima maintains that she converted and married Wahid Bux on April 26 but this annoyed her parents who lodged an FIR, alleging that she was kidnapped with the intention of zina and the police were now harassing her spouse.
The CJ also summoned a report on the alleged harassment of the newly wedded couple.
It seemed to be a day for women seeking protection of the courts. In a second case, the CJ heard an identical petition filed by Naila and Salman of Mujahid Colony, Baldia Town Karachi. They want protect against the alleged harassment of the police. Here too, the chief justice issued notices to the officials for May 21.
Hearing another petition about the recovery of a child from his father, Chief Justice Musheer Alam went through a report submitted on behalf of the inspector general of the Punjab police. He ordered for efforts to be stepped up to find Imran’s six-year-old son Zain and for the father to be produced in court on May 25.

All Sindhi and Balochi Hindus in Pakistan should go to India. Otherwise they should convert to Islam. This is if they want to continue living in Pakistan and also want peace and security in their lives.
Look at the Sindhi and Punjabi Hindu refugees who came to India in 1947. Now most of them have prospered and are well off in India. Of course they had to work very hard initially. But now they have peace, security and prosperity.
It is happening because we Hindus have no religious organization worldwide..
@Anon: This is called Ethnic Cleansing in my books ! Forced Conversions !!!!!
very common procedure, first kidnap the girl, rape her marry her convert her , and then go to police and lodge complaint against parents of hindu girls for threatning,.. I cannot remember a single case in pakistan where Hindu Parents had threatened the girl, they think that hindus also follow the ceremoney of Karo Kari & Vani (Killing). well we can not expect justice in Pakistan anymore as cheif justice gratnted permission for froced conversion in rinkle Kumari case... CJ has given license of forceful conversions.
Now so called human rights activists will again whipup hysteria and label this a forced/kidnap case, just like last time, even though its obvious that the couple eloped at their own will
