AAG Punjab to assist court in Sufi’s case
RAWALPINDI, Jan 8: The Lahore High Court on Tuesday directed the Assistant Advocate General of Punjab to assist the court on the constitutional petition seeking registration of cases against Sufi Mohammad, Amir of Tehrik Nifaz Shariat-i-Mohammadi, on charges of high treason, terrorism and abetment in murder of hundreds of innocent people in Afghanistan.
Justice Javed Buttar on Tuesday took up the petition filed by Syed Liaquat Banuri and issued notice to Assistant Advocate General to assist the court on the issue.
The petitioner, through Advocate Dr Aslam Khaki, had contended that Sofi Mohammad had engaged himself in such activities which were culpable offences under the laws. The petitioner prayed the court to register cases against Sufi Mohammad and his colleagues for high treason, abetment, terrorism, blocking highways and causing death of thousands of innocent people.
