Supreme Court orders inquiry against three SHC Judges

ISLAMABAD - Supreme Court has ordered an inquiry against three SHC Judges.

The Supreme Court on Monday ordered an inquiry against three Sindh High Court judges who were unable to decide an application for pre-arrest bail filed by a murder suspect despite the passage of three years.

In what was the first case heard by the top court via e-Court, a system based on video-link connectivity, a three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Asif Saeed Khosa also approved the pre-arrest bail application of suspect Noor Mohammad.

The court was informed during the hearing that a murder case was registered against Mohammad at Shahdadpur police station in 2014.

The suspect had subsequently approached the Hyderabad circuit bench of the SHC for his pre-arrest bail in 2016.
