The Lahore High Court (LHC) has issued notice to the Punjab Home Department in a petition filed for the recovery of PPPP workers. The petitioner, one of the relatives of arrested workers, contended that the respondent police officials arrested them illegally and without lawful authority. He said neither they were involved in any illegal activity nor were required to the police in any case, the respondent police officials arrested them and put them behind the bars.
He said the respondent police officials informed them that the Home department had issued their arrest orders, under 16 MPO. He prayed to the court to declare their arrests as illegal and without lawful authority.
The court, after hearing the petitioner's counsel at length, issued notice to the home department and called for a report by May 06.
LHC DIRECTS SP: The Lahore High Court (LHC) has directed SP Faisalabad to produce one Asim Yousaf before the court on May 06.
Earlier, the SP Faisalabad appeared before the court and contended that neither the detainee was with them nor they were aware about his whereabouts. He however, requested the court to allow the police to interrogate his wife Sonia Naz.
The court observed if an aggrieved person was handed over to police instead of redressing his/her grievance, it would set a wrong tradition.
The court therefore, directed the SP to produce the detainee before the court on next date of hearing and rose for the day.
The petitioner Sonia Naz has approached the court for the recovery of her husband but the respondent police officials failed to produce him before the court.
