Summons the advocate general Sindh and the provincial police chief on January 4.
The chief justice summoned the advocate general Sindh and the provincial police chief on January 4, ordering them to bring reports on the case and the investigation.
It has been a week since 20-year-old Shahzeb Khan was gunned down, yet the police have failed to make any significant progress due to immense political pressure.
Shahzeb was killed allegedly by Shahrukh Jatoi near Mubarak Masjid in DHA on December 25.
The killing resulted from a small argument he had with Nawab Siraj Talpur, when the latter’s servant verbally harassed his sister.
Talpur and his friend, Jatoi, allegedly followed Shahzeb, even after the issue was settled, and shot him dead.
The two main suspects reportedly escaped to rural Sindh after the murder.
A three-member investigation committee was formed by the Sindh Police but so far, the committee has not made any arrests. The investigation teams that were sent to rural Sindh also came back without any breakthrough.

@Mohammed Fahim: Pakistanis awareness in this new year about the 'evil' waderas & to do something about them, I think, has the same level of importance as India's new found awareness of 'evil' police in its country. Public awareness about this problem is driving action in India.
@Naqvi: And what about the suo moto of the Maulana Rafiq-ul-Khalil you Shias murdered in Karachi on Sunday?
To all my dear friends who are bashing CJ for not taking Suo Motu against Shia killings/levies men killing, please have a look at the situation bit more carefully. Did CJ not say that provincial government in Baluchistan had lost its right to govern because it had failed to ensure safety and security of its people. Hasn't he heard about the missing persons case? 21 levies men were security personnel. Has he stopped army/FC/Levies from taking action against terrorists? Please point out how can CJ help them? Please elaborate against whom should CJ take suo motu take notice in Shia Killings/Leveis personnel killing? Every life is as precious as Shahzeb's, no doubt about it, but please do understand, your CJ is doing best he can. He is not perfect, is far from it, but in whatever capacity and whosoever is helped by his acts, we must appreciate it.
God bless you all.
@TTP Sux
Please provide any proof.. a clip may be or dont put allegations on someone. Stop acting like an idiot
this will result the same as the brutal killings of Sialkot brothers. What happened to that? Pakistan won't change untill WE, THE PEOPLE change it. Not any politician.
The Chief Justice has taken suo moto notice seven days after the murder, better late than never. Salams.
All CF can do is to take suo moto action and it is appreciable. Why we Pakistanis do not understand that SC has tried its best to show the real faces of the so-called champion of democracy in Pakistan on so many occasions with an objective to learn lessons from the mistakes that we have committed by bringing this political mafia in power. Keep in mind that the destiny of our country is in our hand and it is the obligation of all Pakistani to educate those who don't understand that what is good and bad leadership and what are the criteria against which to judge politicians. Otherwise the current set up is intentionally keeping the people ignorant. Let's join hands for a prosperous Pakistan.
its is great that cjp has taken a sou moto notice but sadly more than 10 orders has been released from cjp but there is no implementation on his orders in fact there are implementation case of his orders ..inshaallah on this orders there will be implementation ... as far as arresting the culprits theer r no hassels police should go to theer hide outs and sure police must be knowing their hideouts and should grab them from their coler to the court. and "yes regarding the hide outs of the culprits police surely must bre knowing it caz what ever we eat in our house police knows that tooo"
Best remedy to get rid of yr pent-up frustration at such barbaric acts. Imagine u r a second class citizen [immigrant] living in a land of 'watanees'. u cant take them on, because its their land and law [jirga] since centuries.This realization will bring a calming effect to yr soul, and the stress levels, bp, helplessness will no more torment u. try it. it works.
thank you sir. we wish that the culprits are hanged.
Just today 5 people died in Karahi. One shia leader shot (we heard 21 soliders die and 21 shias killed the other day) .... these news are common in Pak sar Zamen. All of them die innocent and cold blooded deaths. Our judiciary system should cater for them as well. All citizens should get equal rights and equal sou motos
Great !
suo moto ... ohhh yes how can i forget the case has a political link ... CJ will not DARE suo moto mustang attack that killed 20 shia passengers on sunday .... after all shia killing will not bring the court any political scoring .... is it a crime to be a shia in Pakistan??
We really something beyond NOTICES now !!
@yaz
While I agree with ur comment on most parts I do want to point out CJ led SC did take suomoto action on law and order situation in Karachi and held hearing. In the end all CJ can do is pass observations and orders the action have to be taken by executive and legislative branches. Sindh, specifically Karachi situation can not be bettered unless 3 ruling party coalition is removed alternatively a strong central govt under direct gov raj to tackle the problem.
Perfect!.......the Stage was set....and actors start the play!!......CJ the ultimate new-age "thanedar" in action again.....just like always...for every wrong reason!
That's a welcome step by CJ. I wish he can also do something about scores killed everyday in Karachi on which no article is written and no voices raised just because they belong to a poorer section of society. They are also someone's Shazaib and their families also feel pain.
Good Job SC, but kindly consider others as well which were killed in our Urban Areas.
thank you Chief justice sb, this will enlighten the laws and regulations of Pakistan
Thank you Chief Justice Sahib! Please punish these Feudals for the crimes committed by their unruly sons.
Escaped to rural sindh. Is this the new Ilaqa ghair.
This is the best news for us to begin the new year with. I know for a fact these 'waderas' and 'sains' hate to be challenged. To show how superior they are, they ask their servants to degrade the common man. I have witnessed myself one such wadera's son telling his servant to slap a teacher who asked him not to park in front of the school gate. This did not come as a surprise when I first heard of this news; I knew this is nothing new for a nawab or wadera. When I got to know it was Shahzeb, my heart sank. I knew this kid, he was such a nice fellow. Always smiling and ready to go out of his way to help others.
Shahzeb will be the face everyone will remember that brought change in Pakistan. We can't be slaves to the will of these waderas. SC should set an example and show that no one is above the law and that nobody dares harassing our sisters.
Thank you SC! ..Social Media and ET should be proud of their efforts. (Down with other media which did nothing for the cause)
Hope some day Chief Justice will wake up and take notice of Shia Genocide.....
And What about the 35 Shia People killed in a targeted bomb blast in Mastung...?????? Please CJ , Can't you see Shia Genocide...??????????????????????????????????????
Finally some real suo moto...well done CJP!!!
Well done Honourable Cheif Justice. The only hope for justice in current situation.
good.
"It has been a week since 20-year-old Shahzeb Khan was gunned down, yet the police have failed to make any significant progress due to immense political pressure."
Does the editor not know the Pakistan judicial system?? A week is not a long time... You have to be kidding! And why is this loss being valued more than the lives of the poor who die the same way in 'petty arguments'
I am so happy and thankful to CJ for taking Suo moto notice on this issue, from this platform I would like to convey my message to Shahzeb's family, that you are not alone now, we all were at peaceful protest on Sunday and we remain with you the time of justice.
May Allah give Shahzeb a best place in heaven
Sick of suo motoz... what abt daily 40-50 deaths by target killers and talibans..are they keray makoray? why no suo moto on them? teme single positive outcome of these suo moto except govt and CJP plays politics on ot
Thank you CJ!!!
Its a great news that chief justice has taken notice, but chief justice or supreme court can only order(which they did), now police needs to arrest these culprits which they won
t (these people are from rich elite or feudal class ) do you think police will make raid in interior Sindh) no way at all, they will run away to other country actually they dont need, they can stay in village which is like fortress and police will do nothing about it, in a few days they news will cool down, and our society i hope will not forget the innocent and keep asking for justice.Nothing will happen!!! just remember the cae of Rinkle Kumari, after taking suo motu action he(cheif justice) ruined her life.... dont expect justice... as said, justice delayed justice denied!!
In my country Pakistan only Allah and CJ can provide justice !!
Salute to Mr. CJ for taking up the case. This man is running this country. Have we heard a single word from our so much liked 'democratic' leaders. Oh well, I forgot, they are too busy making money, after all the end is near!
great!!!.
good CJ
What about suo moto of 21 levies tribesmen killed by TTP?
Shahzeb's killers should be punished. But did Chief Justice took any actions on brutal killings of thousands of innocent person this year only due to the fact that they were not childrens of DSP or relatives of MNAs .
Pointless.......as all the other suo motu's.........it will land up nowhere.
