KARACHI: The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Thursday resumed the hearing of Karachi law-and-order suo motu implementation case and expressed displeasure over police report filed over unrest in Karachi.
The court has ordered authorities concerned to submit fresh and separate reports mentioning the actions taken by the law enforcers to curb the sustained violence in Karachi.
Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry headed a five-member bench to hear the case at Karachi Registry of the Supreme Court.
At the outset of the hearing, IG Sindh Police Shahid Nadeem Baloch and Chief Secretary Sindh turned up and submitted their reports.
The report stated that lack of town planning and growing population are main reasons behind crimes and violence in the city since criminals seek refuge in narrow alleys.
At which the CJP observed that “why the crime ratio is low in Delhi and Kolkata despite the fact that they are densely populated cities.”
The CJP expressed his displeasure over the police report and described it as a bid to hoodwink the apex court.
