SHC visit

Published August 8, 2020

I HAD occasion to visit the Identification Branch located in the premises of the High Court of Sindh recently and was very disturbed by what I saw.

The branch was crowded with people, which was only to be expected. But hardly anybody was wearing a. mask and you can forget about social distancing. Surely the Chief Justice of Sindh can arrange to enforce the SOPs to counter Covid 19 within the boundary walls of the buildings which house the high court?
