Notices ignored: Court orders SHO arrested for delaying trial

LAHORE: An additional district and sessions judge on Monday directed the capital city police officer to register a case against the Kahna SHO for failing to produce witnesses and evidence in a murder trial even though several notices had been issue.

The CCPO was directed to arrest the SHO and produce him before the court. He should also produce the witnesses in court, the judge said.  The court had issued several notices to the Kahna SHO for producing the witnesses but the SHO had not appeared in court and neither had any witness.
