On Wednesday, the Sindh High Court ordered that she be relocated to another cage 500 times bigger.

KARACHI:
A Sindh High Court bench issued notices on Tuesday summoning the Sindh Building Control Authority director-general in personal capacity at the next hearing of the plea against illegal constructions in the Bahadurabad residential area.
A two-member bench, headed by Justice Irfan Saadat Khan and comprising Justice Yousuf Ali Sayeed, heard the plea.
During the hearing, the counsel representing SBCA, advocate Tariq Mansoor, resigned from his post, maintaining that being in the panel was of no benefit when he could not get justice in a year and a half.

The Sindh High Court issued notices to the parties in Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan s plea against the carving out of a seventh district - Keamari - in the metropolis on Monday.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf MNA Aamir Liaquat also filed a similar petition before the high court.
The petitioners maintained in their pleas that the establishment of Keamari district and a related district municipal corporation was illegal.
They argued that a population census was not carried out in the area before changing its status to a district, adding that a public hearing to solicit public opinion on dissolving or creating a council is a requirement before establishing a district according to revenue rules.
