SUKKUR: A twelve-year-old boy, Fateh Mohammad Nandwani, on Monday chaired a tribal court (jirga) and passed a decree ordering a man to pay a fine of Rs550,000 for maintaining extra-marital affair with a woman in Sabbar Nandwani village near Tangwani town of Kandhkot-Kashmore district.
The dispute was taken to the jirga after the rival sides failed to settle it amicably. A large number of people belonging to the two sides attended the jirga and accepted the decree announced by the young ‘judge’.
Anwar Nandwani paid Rs50,000 to the aggrieved family headed by Sanjha Nandwani on the spot and undertook to pay the remaining amount of the fine money within the next three months.
