LAHORE: The Supreme Court, Lahore Registry, on Friday suspended a show-cause notice issued to the SP Operation Saddar Hafeezur Rehman Bugti by the Lahore High Court for misusing the authority in a matter to the police’s occupation on a citizen’s property.
Earlier, the LHC registrar office presented the complete record of the proceedings against the police officer. The SC bench comprising Justice Sajjad Ali Shah and Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah suspended the show-cause and proceedings against Bugti. The bench has issued a notice to the petitioner against the police officer for a hearing to be fixed later. SP Bugti through his counsel contended that he did not make any misstatement before the LHC, saying the court had been misled through wrong facts against him. He pleaded the SC to set aside the proceedings against him before the LHC.
