OPC asked not to interfare in sub judice matters

The Lahore High Court on Thursday restrained Punjab Overseas Pakistani Commission from interfering in civil and criminal nature cases pertained to property disputes. Hearing some identical petitions against the alleged illegal proceedings of the overseas commission, Chief Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah observed that procuring possession of any disputed property in favour of any of the litigant parties was not the mandate of the commission. The overseas commission could not assume jurisdiction of court, the CJ said and directed the law officer to ensure the commission remain in its limits and cause no harassment to citizens.
