New registrar appointed

KARACHI:
Sindh High Court (SHC) Chief Justice Sarmad Jalal Osmany issued orders for transfers and postings within the provincial judiciary on Friday.
District and Sessions Judge Hyderabad Abdul Rasool Memon has been appointed as the SHC registrar, while District and Sessions Judge Karachi (South) Faheem Ahmed Siddiqui has been posted in his place.
District and Sessions Judge Malir Hassan Feroz has replaced Siddiqui.
Feroz has earlier served as the Sindh Assembly Secretary and as an accountability court judge.
Access to Justice Programme Project Director Kausar Ali Bukhari has been appointed the sessions judge in Malir, and has been replaced by sessions judge Inamul Rehman.
This will be the second time that Memon will serve as the SHC registrar.
After he was transferred from the post, former commissioner Shafiq Paracha and a few sessions judges served as the high court’s registrar, but for brief tenures.
Man challenges placement of his name on watch list
A man has taken the law-enforcement authorities to court as his name has been on anti-terror suspects watch list since 2007.
On Friday, the Sindh High Court issued notice to the Advocate General Sindh, Home Secretary and IG Police on the petition filed by Fareed Ahmed Usmani. His name was placed on the ATA’s fourth schedule, he said, submitting that the police’s Anti-Violent Crime Unit had booked him in different cases.
The home department put his name on the fourth schedule Section 11EE ATA 1997 in a notification dated June 29, 2007. His counsel argued that under the law, a suspect’s name was required to be deleted from the watch list after three years. But, his client’s name had been continuously appearing since June 2007. The SHC’s division bench, comprising Justice Amir Hani Muslim and Justice Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi, issued the notices for October 4.
