Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar while hearing a case regarding illegal occupation of official residences by police officials also summoned a record of ongoing cases in lower courts and stay orders issued on the residences in question.
During the hearing, the additional attorney general claimed that the provincial police chiefs were not cooperating.
“In Islamabad, 200 official residences have been illegally occupied by police officials,” the additional attorney general said.
“We have apprised the Islamabad inspector general but he is not cooperating with us,” he lamented, adding that the situation is similar in Karachi.
To this, the chief justice questioned as to why the IGs were not cooperating.
Justice Nisar then said, “Ask the IGs to appear in court whether via helicopter or plane.”
However, the additional attorney general said it was not possible for the IGs to appear immediately and asked for the hearing of the case to be adjourned till Friday.
Adjourning the hearing of the case until July 6, Justice Nisar ordered that all four IGs appear for the hearing and files be presented of illegally occupied residences on which stay orders were given.
