By Our Correspondent
HYDERABAD, June 16: The additional advocate general, Sindh, Masood Noorani, on Friday assured the Sindh High Court, Hyderabad circuit bench, on behalf of the Mirpurkhas police that no harassment would be caused to a transport service proprietor, Aslam Khan.
In the wake of the assurance, Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali disposed of the petition after the petitioner’s counsel also expressed satisfaction over the statement brought on record by the additional advocate general, Sindh.
The additional advocate general informed the court on behalf of the SHO, Old Mirpurkhas police station, that the allegations against the respondent SHO were baseless and incorrect as the DPO, Mirpurkhas, had written a letter to the SHO to maintain law and order at the bus terminal.
The additional advocate general said that the policemen had been posted there to prevent the people from taking the law into their hands.
He said that the SHO neither harassed the petitioner nor intended to do so.
He elucidated that if any action was required it would be taken strictly in accordance with the law.
He enclosed a copy of the civil suit pending in the civil court regarding it.
Aslam Khan had moved the court through Advocate Ibrahim Soomro claiming that policemen were preventing his employees from plying the buses from the bus terminal on the pressure from some influential people.
His lawyer argued that the respondents had got nothing to do with the bus terminal.
