KARACHI: Sindh Anti-Terrorism Courts’ (ATC) monitoring Judge Justice Amir Hani Muslim directed the provincial government to take immediate steps to make ATCs, established in central jail, functional.

While chairing a meeting in the Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan’s Karachi registry on Saturday, Justice Amir Hani Muslim was told that there are 19 ATCs proceeding with the cases in Sindh out of which 10 are located in Karachi.

The ATC administrative Judge, Sindh’s Prosecutor General Shahadat Awan, Advocate General Zameer Ghumro and Secretary of home department were also present on the occasion.

The chair was explained that other districts of the province lacked ATCs, causing hardships. Terrorism cases were being heard by ATC-linked judges.
