ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar has taken notice of the complaint that police are pressing transgender people to leave Mardan.
An NGO “Vision Pakistan” submitted an application on behalf of transgender people alleging that the Mardan police were raiding the houses of transgender people and harassing them to leave Mardan.
Police are also allegedly pressing the landlords who rented their houses to transgender people.
Reportedly, police were forced to take action by people who are not prepared to treat transgender people as human beings.
The CJp directed the Mardan district and sessions judge to take up the matter and to apprise the Supreme Court in this regard.
Complainant transgender Alisha and Sidra appeared before the judge. The Operations Wing SP was also summoned.
The police said transgender people would not be harassed and full protection would be provided to them.
In view of such assurance given by the police and on satisfaction of complainants Alishah and Sidra, the matter was disposed of, clarifying that in case of any violation in future by police or the landlords they can again bring the matter to the notice of the court.
