ISLAMABAD, Sept 21: Civil Judge Islamabad Nadia Ikram Malik has summoned an investigation officer (IO) of Sihala police station on Monday on the complaint of a woman, whose son has been missing.
The complainant, 70, a resident of Pir Mahal near Jhang, contended in her written complaint that her son Mohammad Sharif, 30, was arrested by the Sihala police on charges of selling fake gold in Rawalpindi.
She said the court of Nadia Ikram Malik sent her son on a 14-day judicial remand on September 12. But when she alongwith her daughter-in-law went to Adiala jail to meet her son she was told that he was not there.
When she insisted on knowing the whereabouts of her son, she was told that he had been sent to Jhang district jail as he was also involved in a fraud case in his native town.
The woman further stated that she had also gone to Jhang prison, but the relevant authorities there expressed ignorance about her son and told her that he was still in Rawalpindi prison.
She complained that due to the misleading statement of the authorities of the two prisons, she was faced with serious hardships. She sought the court’s help for the recovery of her son or atleast let her know his exact whereabouts.
The court, after the receipt of the complaint, summoned investigation officer Sub Inspector Mohammad Mustafa alongwith the entire record of the case.
BAIL GRANTED: Additional District and Sessions Judge Islamabad Chaudhry Mohammad Younas granted bail to a murder accused on the production of surety bond worth Rs50,000 on Saturday.
The police had arrested Hafeez Ahmad some four months ago on charges of killing one of his village-fellow, Abdul Ghaffar.
The defence counsel argued that neither there was a witness to the murder nor the accused had been nominated in the FIR at the very outset of the incident.
BAIL REJECTED: The same court rejected bail petition of Mohammad Mushtaq of Sihala village, who according to the police had seriously injured one of his neighbours during a land dispute.
Opposing the bail petition, the prosecution submitted that the accused could influence the case inquiry which was still underway and that his release could create law and order situation in the village where the incident occurred.
