KARACHI: The hearing of the Supreme Court’s suo motu notice of Karachi violence resumed on Tuesday.
On Monday, a five-member bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry ordered Attorney General Anwarul Haq to file a new report, carrying the latest information about those who are creating unrest in Karachi.
The Attorney General is expected to file a new report on the inquiry of the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI) into the unrest in the port city as per the directions of the court.
The earlier document contained inquiry reports of the Special Branch, Federal Investigations Agency (FIA), and the Intelligence Bureau.
Last week, the court had taken notice of three months of continuous violence in the megalopolis that claimed over 400 lives, in what has been described as one of the deadliest spells of violence the city has ever experienced.
During yesterday’s hearing, the five-member bench hearing the Karachi violence suo motu case said it was “unhappy” with the report. It said apart from the first three pages of the report, it was “all newspaper reports and no analysis”.
Sindh government’s counsel Abdul Hafeez Pirzada is defending the police.
The Jamat-e-Islami and Awami National Party had also submitted applications to become a party in the case during the last hearing.
