HYDERABAD, June 1: Justice Mohammad Moosa K. Laghari of the Sindh High Court, Hyderabad circuit, here on Friday directed the Assistant Advocate-General, Mr Rasheed Qureshi, to produce a list of all cases registered against former DIG Mirpurkhas, Salimullah Khan, at police stations other than Sanghar, Mirpurkhas and Tharparkar on the next date of hearing of the petition which is fixed for June 6.

These orders were passed when Salimullah Khan was produced in the court on Friday. The hearing of the petition was adjourned to June 6.

The Superintendent of Central Jails, Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas and the Civil Surgeon of Mirpurkhas, Dr Roshan Ali Bhatti, also appeared before the court along with the investigating officer of the two cases registered against the former DIG at Khipro and Mirpurkhas police stations.

The civil surgeon was also directed to produce all medical tests and medical prescriptions for the treatment of Mr Rana on the next date of hearing.

Later, talking to journalists, Rana Salimullah Khan, said that he was illegally brought from Islamabad by Sindh police in an official plane to Karachi. He complained that every few days, new people were appointed to maintain a constant vigilance over him.

When his attention was drawn to the press conference of her daughter in Islamabad, seeking American help, Salimullah Khan said that she had every right to do this as she was an American citizen. He said, when his house was ransacked in Mirpurkhas, the American passport of her daughter was also taken away.

He said if he was summoned by the Supreme Court in the petition of Chief Justice of Supreme Court of Pakistan, he would definitely appear as a witness.

He claimed that majority of the cases in which the CJP had taken suo motu notice pertained to Mirpurkhas, in which he was actively involved in the investigation.

He said, certain big wigs were involved in these cases and added that the provincial authorities had tried to create hurdles in the investigation.

The former DIG of Mirpurkhas on Friday also filed a hand written application in the Sindh High Court which spread over 100 pages, including the details of different cases in which he has cited 27 respondents, including the Sindh chief minister, chief secretary, home secretary, chiefs of anti-corruption and FIA, IGP Sindh and others.

In this application he stated, among other things, that he was being victimised and made scapegoat in false and manipulated cases.
