ISLAMABAD: The Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali on Monday took suo moto notice of the condition of Quetta's Sandeman Provincial Hospital and fixed June 7 as the date for a court hearing.

The CJP took suo motu notice of the case under Article 184 (3) of the Constitution on a report submitted to him by the Balochistan High Court Registrar and issued notices to the Attorney General for Pakistan, Advocate General Balochistan and the provincial health secretary.

The registrar's complaint raised concerns about the poor condition of the hospital and services being provided to patients at the facility.

@Harmony-1© You'd find the current CJP to be rather incompetent, to take on such an issue.

That's great Sir but take notice of corruption especially Panama leak issues & investigate Sharif's family/ PM himself. Hospital mismanagement is also due to corruption. Thx.
