GUJRANWALA, Dec 2: The heirs of the slain judges staged a sit-in outside the Anti-Terrorism Court No 1 on Tuesday when the investigation team could not produce the chargesheet of the Sialkot jail incident accused in court even after four months.

They urged upon the investigators to submit the charge-sheet in court without further delay.

The judge, Syed Iftikhar Husain Shah, took stock of situation and issued show-cause notice to head of an investigation team, DIG Tariq Saleem Dogar (Sheikhupura), Kasur DPO Ghulam Muhammad Kalyar and DSPs Muhammad Younis Butt and Omar Farooq. He directed them to submit the charge-sheet on Dec 5 (Friday).

The investigators pleaded that they could not remove the objections raised on the charge-sheet by the district attorney because they were on special duty.

The court, however, ordered that all the objections to the charge-sheet should be removed till the next date of hearing.

MEDICAL COLLEGE: Corps Commander Lt-Gen Khalid Munir Khan gave final approval of the establishment of a medical college at the District Headquarters Hospital, here

He directed the authorities concerned that the classes here should be started at the earliest.
