IHC decision to release prisoners not in accordance with law: CJP
A royal decree was issued by some king in the Sindh High Court: CJP
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Gulzar Ahmed has on Wednesday remarked that the Islamabad High Court (IHC) decision to release prisoners is not in accordance with the law.
The Supreme Court heard the appeal against the release of prisoners due to coronavirus. The CJP inquired that under which rule the suspects and the culprits can be let out.
The CJP said, “A royal decree was issued by some king in the Sindh High Court (SHC) also. It cannot happen that someone gives orders thinking of himself as a monarch.
“How can criminals be freed in such a situation when police are busy in dealing with emergency situation of coronavirus? Dacoities have started in Karachi after the bails of suspects.”
