The petition was filed by Mohammad Khan, Naqeebullah Mehsud’s father. Naqeebullah Mehsud was killed in an alleged staged encounter in Karachi on January 13. Former SSP of Malir, Rao Anwar and then DSP Qamar Ahmed Shaikh along other officials were booked for allegedly killing four men, including Mehsud, in a staged police encounter in Shah Latif Town and separately in a case for foisting fake recoveries of illegal arms and explosives on the victims.
On Monday, a division bench headed by SHC Chief Justice Ahmed Ali Shaikh heard the case. During the hearing, the counsel of the petitioner informed the court that DSP Qamar was not appearing before the trial court.The bench then issued a notice to DSP Qamar Ahmed Shaikh over not coming to the hearing.
The SHC had adjourned hearing of the petition filed by Naqeebullah Mehsud’s father seeking revocation of the bail granted to Anwar and ex-DSP Qamar till November 26 (Monday). The plea was filed by Barrister Faisal Siddiqui on behalf of Mehsud’s father. He argued that the trial court had approved the suspects’ bails without hearing the complainants and without taking the evidence into consideration. The bench sought the suspect’s response over the application and adjourned the hearing of the case.
