KARACHI: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has issued notice to the inspector general of the Sindh police over the murders of lawyers and violence at the district bar associations in Sindh.
The police chief has been directed to appear with his comments before the apex court on October 24.
A delegation of the Karachi Bar Association members, led by its president, Mehmoodul Hasan, had met Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on Saturday.
They complained about the failure of the law enforcement agencies to protect practicing lawyers, some of who were killed in Karachi, and inaction against those involved in violence at the Khairpur and Hyderabad district bar associations.
The Supreme Court bench is expected to take up the suo motu case on the implementation of the apex court's judgment passed earlier in the Karachi violence case at its Karachi Registry from October 23.

@Tabish:
Again, it is the responsibility of the govt to protect the lives & property of its citizens not SC.Since, the govt has failed, people are forced to approach SC...
@Kanwal:
It is not the responsibility of SC but the govt to protect its citizens.Since, the govt has failed, people are forced to approach SC / judiciary.So, why blame SC ?
Only lawyers? Are they god damn only the human creatures left on this planet?
Finally, the people in Islamabad have taken notice? Oh thank you thank you. Now do something about it so that us poor Karachiites don't have to suffer any longer.
We need a Karachi based army and Karachi based government to solve the problems in Karachi
How about taking notice of other civilian target killings and shia genocide??? I guess they too are human beings, ain't they CJ?
Oh finally!! somebody had to go to him and shake him up. I seriously doubt he is going to do anything about it though.
