ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Wednesday barred the Hindu community from interfering into the rebuilding the Samadhi (shrine) of Hindu Saint in Teri village in the District Karak which was vandalised by a mob on Dec 30.
A two-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed also issued a direction to the Chief Secretary Khyber Pakhtunkhwas (KP) to ensure that the Hindu temple was completed as early as possible.
On Jan 5, the apex court on a suo motu hearing had ordered the Evacuee Trust Property Board (EPTB) to reconstruct the Teri temple.
