A division bench of High Court of Sindh (SHC) comprising Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali and Justice Maqbool Sager on Friday allowed a miscellaneous application filed by Amin Fabrics seeking return of six Kalashnikovs deposited by the applicant company with the Nazir of the court.
Earlier, Khawaja Naveed Ahmed advocate appearing for the applicants informed the bench that 11 constitution petitions were disposed of by a bench of the court, which overruled the en-bloc cancellation of arms licences by Nawaz Sharif government and directed the government to review the case of petitioners on individual basis.
He submitted that the state went into an appeal against this order before the Supreme Court, which also upheld the order of the SHC.
The counsel further submitted that their licences have been restored and they have paid the fee along with fine, penalty etc. He prayed to the court to order return of the arms.
Standing Council (SC) Ziauddin Nasir first sought adjournment stating that the copy of the petition is not supplied to him at which the counsel for the petitioner stated that copies have been supplied and former DAG Khursheed Hashmi has appeared many times.
The SC opposed the prayer at which the bench observed that petitions have already been decided and application before the court is simply for return of property.
The bench with this observation ruling aside the objection by the Standing Council allowed the appeal directing the Nazir to return the arms after proper identification of the applicant.
