LAHORE: Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar on Saturday ordered the Punjab police to arrest all quacks in the province within seven days. “In seven days, all of them should be arrested and a report should be submitted before the court of the record,” the CJP ordered during hearing of a suo motu case at the Lahore registry. “Punjab police should have already taken strict action against such people,” the CJP remarked. In a separate case, the Supreme Court granted police 10 more days to nab the chief suspect wanted in connection with the killing of journalist Zeeshan Butt in Sumbrial. A two-member bench hearing the suo motu case ordered police to nab Imran alias Mani in 10 days. Punjab IGP Arif Nawaz presented a progress report before the court. He told the court that suspects Saqlain Ali, Shahid and Shahid Mehmood have already been arrested while prime suspect Imran is still absconding. At this, the CJP questioned how long police would take to nab him. The IGP requested for 10 more days on this account. “Nab Imran and present a report,” CJP Nisar told him. The chief justice had earlier taken suo motu notice of the killing in Sambrial, Sialkot. Last week, the IG informed the court that those involved in the murder of journalist were affiliated with the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). On Saturday, the chief justice also took notice of the use of luxury cars by ministers and judges alike. The top judge sought a report from the provincial governments over the use and provision of luxury cars in each province. The SC directed all cabinet secretaries and provincial secretaries to submit their reports. The apex court also directed the registrars of all high courts to submit a report in 15 days over the luxury sedans in use of all the justices of these courts. “We should be informed of all the ministers and government officers who drive cars more luxurious than their status,” the CJP remarked.
