SHC adjourns hearing on plea to make JIT reports public

Author: PPI

The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Monday adjourned until May 6 a petition filed by Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Ali Zaidi, seeking to make public joint investigation team (JIT) reports regarding the Baldia factory inferno, Lyari gang war kingpin Uzair Baloch and former chairman of Fishermen’s Cooperative Society Dr Nisar Morai. A two-member bench of the SHC, headed by Justice Muhammad Iqbal Kalhoro, heard the petition but adjourned it due to the absence of Advocate General of Sindh Salman Talibuddin, directing him to ensure his appearance on the next hearing. The counsel for Ali Zaidi maintained before the court that the JIT reports of the cases should be made public.
