A five-member SC bench headed by Anwar Zaheer Jamali and comprising Justice Khilji Arif, Justice Sarmad Jalal, Justice Amir Hani Muslim and Justice Gulzar Ahmed was hearing the Karachi law and order implementation case at the Karachi Registry.
The bench, while issuing the written interim order, has upheld the previous judgment of the case and stated that the 35 prisoners whose cases are still pending and who were released on parole should be arrested on immediate basis and presented in the respective courts. The relevant courts were instructed to issue non-bailable warrants against all such criminals.
The SC has also instructed the Home Ministry and Inspector General Sindh to arrest the prisoners released on parole and to present them in the courts.
The court instructed the concerned authorities to present a detailed report regarding this issue in the next hearing of the case as the SC will continue the hearing of cases involving those accused.
The order also stated that action against unregistered vehicles and vehicles having fancy and foreign number plates should be initiated.
Earlier during the hearing, the bench also instructed the authorities of Excise and Taxation Department to set up their office at Karachi Port so that no vehicle can enter the city without registration, as unregistered vehicles are being used in criminal activities and officials are not taking any notice.
