KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Friday sought response from the provincial home secretary over a petition challenging the declaration of Rao Anwar’s house a sub-jail. On Friday, the court heard a petition filed by Naqeebullah’s father Khan Muhammad, through his counsel Faisal Siddiqui. The petition challenged the declaration of Anwar’s house a sub-jail. The victim’s father claimed that the Sindh government was favouring Rao Anwar by declaring his house a sub-jail. Khan Muhammad declared the move illegal and demanded that Anwar be shifted to a proper prison. Sindh Home Minister Suhail Anwar Siyal had declared Anwar’s house a sub jail citing security threats to the suspended SSP in other prisons. A notification declaring Rao Anwar’s house as a sub-jail was also issued by home secretary Shahid Pervez. During the hearing, court asked the home secretary why Rao Anwar was put in a sub jail. The provincial home secretary sought time to submit a written response to the petition. The court adjourned the hearing till June 20, stating that a decision would be made on available records if a written response was not submitted at the next hearing.
