HYDERABAD, May 11: Civil Judge and Judicial Magistrate Syed Nadeem Zafar Hashmi on Friday remanded a class IX student of the Cadet College Petaro (CCP), Rehman Malik, to judicial custody for three days in the juvenile prison Hyderabad. He is accused in the case of murder of his maternal uncle lodged at the Bulri Shah Karim police station.

The handcuffed student was produced before the court by investigation police of Bulri Shah Karim. Police requested the court to grant seven-day remand. However, the request was opposed by his counsel Faizul Hassan Arain and the court remanded him to judicial custody for three days.

Haris of mother of Rehman Malik, Jummo, Mubarak and Accho have also been remanded to judicial custody by the court. They were produced along with the main accused. Investigation police informed the court that the boy had been produced before police surgeon Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences (LUMHS) for the determination of his age as directed by the court. The report of medical board was likely to be received on Monday next, police said. Her mother claimed that he was 14 years old while police said he was 19.

The boy's mother Mrs Zahida was also present in the court. She filed a criminal miscellaneous application through her counsel before the sessions judge Hyderabad, under sections 22-A and 22-B Cr.PC, requesting the court for registration of an FIR against her relatives for illegally occupying her agricultural land. The court ordered police to register her case if a cognizable offence was made out.

She referred to an FIR lodged by Bulri Shah Karim regarding the murder of her stepbrother, Abbas Haider on the compliant of his brother, Babar Ameer Chattha. She said her three sons, Asad, Samiullah and Rehman, as well as three haris Mubarak, Jumma and Acho were falsely implicated in the FIR. She said all accused have been arrested but at the instance of complainant her sons, Asad and Samiullah were not produced before the court today.

She said, at present Asad, Samiullah, Sabir and Majeed (both chowkidars) are in illegal custody of police on the basis of an FIR no 35/07 but despite lapse of four days they were not produced before the court. She said since she had no male member to support her, therefore Babar, Tariq, Adil, Zaheer, Shakeel, Asif, Adnan, Faisal, Ahmed and others with help of police had occupied her land in Deh Jati Taluka Bulri Shah Karim, taking away 50 maunds of wheat, 100 bags of fertiliser, three buffaloes, 10 goats and two bullocks and damaged standing crops.

She prayed the court to produce her sons and chowkidars before the court if they are required in any case and the SHO Bulri Shah Karim police should be directed to lodge an FIR.
