Bureau Report
PESHAWAR, Oct 18: The Peshawar High Court on Monday ordered the district and sessions judge of Karak to conduct an inquiry into an alleged illegal raid on the residence of a petitioner by the local police.
A two-member bench comprising Justice Malik Hamid Saeed and Justice Qaim Jan Khan in their order observed that the sessions' judge had the powers to inquire into the matter and to provide justice to the petitioner, Habib Gul.
The petitioner stated that a few days back SHO of Karak Police Station Amin Khan raided his house and took away valuables and money. He claimed that the police had taken away 10 tola of jewellery, Rs53,000 cash, a TV set, a rifle and other items.
The petitioner said the police had also filed fake cases against his son Hameedullah and his three nephews, Mukhtiar, Ghaniur Rehman and Wasil Khan. He requested the court to issue directives to the Karak police for returning the looted items. He also requested the court to quash the cases against his son and nephews.
Bashir Khan Tanghi advocate appeared for the petitioner and contended that the petitioner and his relatives were not required in any case thus the raid on his residence was illegal.
