ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Monday expressed dissatisfaction over police report on Shahzeb murder case, DawnNews reported.
A three-member bench of the Supreme Court was hearing the suo moto notice taken by the chief justice over the Shahzeb murder.
The Inspector General of Sindh Police Fayyaz Leghari appeared in the court for hearing.
During the hearing DIG-South Shahid Hayat said that according to the records the main accused in the case Shahrukh Jatoi had traveled to the UAE under a different name and adding that the information of Shahrukh arrival in UAE was conveyed by the counsel general of Dubai.
He also said that it is a common malpractice under which people traveled using someone else’s name.
“Interpol was contacted for the arrest of the accused”, said Shahid Hayat.
The Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry said in his remarks that IG Sindh and DIG should have been suspended but other than that the sub-inspector was suspended over the issue.
Moreover he said that the attempt was also made to close the case by registering the second FIR.
The CJ also said that influential people were behind the murder and IG Sindh also knew that who is responsible for the murder adding that police gives the opportunity to the accused to escape.
“FIA had assisted the accused to escape the country by giving wrong information,” said chief justice.
The court dismissed the plea submitted by the police to postponed the deadline for 15 days and instructed them to arrest the accused by tomorrow.
Directing the police to present Shahrukh Jatoi in court on Jan 10, the bench adjourned the hearing to the said date.

When will the Apex Court take notice of the rampant lawlessness and impunity that plagues our society in general? The justices dilute their mandate by getting embroiled in matters that should be dealt with by local authorities. The court ought to concern itself with the systemic problems in the society

so much fuss over a single murder in DHA, but sleeping on the murders of hundreds in baldia factory.

Let not our hopes extinguish yet, its just the beginning of a new day. Imagine thousands of those cases, which are murdered cold blooded but never are reported , registered or heard. ..... This alone case has sent clear message to all Vadeera and notorious powerful people that they also can be dragged in the court.

This has become quite common for some time. The only difference is that (late) Shahzeb's father was a DSP. I was threatened in 2011 by some VIP after his car banged into mine at a traffic signal. ?? His guards snatched my car keys from the ignition and pulled by my hair. Those guards were proper uniformed ones. City was karachi. I am sure there are countless poor souls like myself out there who have no way to take those official criminals to task. Sad and shows a crumbling system.

If thats the situation of a country`s law and order, where a DSP is fighting to get justice for his murdered son. I can`t even imagine the situation of under-privileged and the masses......!!
Even Supreme Court`s Order are not implemented properly (or being delayed wilfully) to give extra time....in an attempt to save the killers (rather powerful killers).
i.e. Feudal Elite...

This is the test of judiciary and police force in Pakistan. The people are too powerful as they are friends of the people in high positions. I was surprised to read in Dawn yesterday that the fatherof one of them has reported to have said that everything has been sorted out. God know what that means in real terms but a layman like me can only assume that pribes have exchanged hands already. Also, how come one of the accused left the country without going through the proper immigration process. That clearly shows that people in the know can do anything, literally. Kill and leave the country. What a shambles it is. These boys should be captured and brought to justice and made an example of. Otherwise, people of Pakistan will never forget the judiciary, police and politicians. Never.

It is very good that we see powerful people being subject to law. like it. SC must ensure that justice should be made available to every citezen of country not only to those where people and media put pressure and compel SC to take notice, rather courts should now start being proactive.

Hang all these blighters upside down from the nearest lampost and you will see how quickly this filthy lot will change. Murderers, looters and other assorted scum of the earth should realize that running away from Pakistan will no longer be a solution. Many decades ago the State of Israel started the poilcy of kidnapping Nazi war criminals and bringing them to justice in Israel, the most famous of which was Adolph Eichman. A new government in Pakistan may choose to adopt a similar policy. You may keep your ill-gotten wealth in Swiss Banks but it would be of no use to you when you are hanging upside down in Kot Lakpath.

Ugly events and repulsive role of police and executive to protect criminals is the cause for rise in incidences of violence, murder, rape, extortion and kidnapping for ransom in Karachi and other parts of Pakistan.

Doesn't look to me like. It seems progress is being made to nab the culprit, even from overseas. Lets hope the murderer is caught and punished soon.

Although brother Muhammad is very right in his comments as influentials are never punished in our God gifted country. Even if he is arrested our history shows that he will likely to be bailed out, the case will go on lingering till it goes off the minds of masses /media and then nothing is likely to happen in the end. It is getting more and more apparent that this country is now left only for Wadera and
Choudhry saheban. Let's hope against hope that the accused will not be let off and our CJ saheb will follow the case till its end.

The case will not be forgotten InSha Allah. This suo motu notice will reach its end. Shahrukh will be punished for what he has done, and so would be his backers.

A humble request to the Honorable Chief Justice of Pakistan.
Sir, for too long the involvement of the authorities in aiding and abetting the influential and their scions
Get away with any and everything has to be stopped at some point to really have a law abiding Society.
Sir, I would request that all the Police, Immigration any one else found to have helped these criminals escape the country be tried right alongside of them for obstruction of justice. This was the sworn duty of these officers to uphold the Law not to withhold the Law.
The public has also got to wake up from the pathetic state that they have hid themselves. If we let someone just trample us they will do it over and over again.
Wake up people! Today it was Shahrukh Jatoi exercised his lineages right to trample and kill with audacity, but it is also our right to live in a law-abiding, God given Equal rights Society without fear.
In today's Pakistan who is to be feared more, the criminal who does what he does or the Police who don't do what they are supposed to do.So who is the real criminal.
Sir you can only do so much. Your Suo Moto action has brought a ray to focus on this culture of
Favors by the law enforcing agencies.
Sir, now let there be spotlight on them. Send every one of those involved in this obstruction of justice to jail so that no one again dares to be a law unto themselves.

I beg the Supreme Court to make this case an example for every one. I think Allah provides us with opportunities through these tragic events to change our destiny. This is the time to get rid of the elitism, opprtunitism ,waderaism, jageeraism and prove to each and every Pakistani that no one is above law. No amount of money or influence would save you if you commit a crime. I beg the police officers and every one who is involved in this case to see in this young mans eyes their own future generations. Please don't miss this opportunity. It is indeed a blessing in disguise.
