A larger bench of the apex court headed by Justice Anwer Zaheer Jamali resumed the hearing of the case pertaining to the implementation of the court’s earlier order over the Karachi law and order situation at the Supreme Court’s Karachi registry.
During today’s proceedings, the court issued a show cause notice to IG Sindh Fayyaz Leghari over failure to produce the list of the Members of Inspection Team (MIT) and details of other officials involved in crimes.
In its remarks the court inquired as to why were 430 policemen, who were involved in illegal activities, not suspended and still posted for duties.
