IHC seeks action on registration of bogus FIR against woman

ISLAMABAD   –    The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday granted one-week time to capital’s police for taking actions against personnel in­volved in registration of a bogus FIR against a wom­an. Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri, hearing the case, expressed annoyance over registration of FIR against woman without any name of complainant and said that the court would shift the matter to Federal Inves­tigation Agency (FIA) and Intelligence Bureau (IB) if a transparent inquiry was not conducted into it.

The court questioned that whether the po­lice would register case if someone claimed that sec­retary interior had slapped him while in drunk condi­tion. The SSP Operations, on the occasion, submit the inquiry report of the FIR and said that it was clear that the FIR could not be registered without the name of complainant. He prayed the court to grant some time to take action against the respon­sible of negligence.

The court accepted the request and adjourned hearing of the case till De­cember 18. It may be men­tioned here that the hus­band of AIG Maria was also accused of harassing the petitioner woman.
