KARACHI: Sindh lawyers' fraternity on Monday began observing a three-day strike in a move to protest the kidnapping of the Sindh High Court Chief Justice’s son, Owais Ali Shah.
SHC’s Justice Ahmed Ali M Shaikh adjourned hearing of all the pending cases today.
The lawyers of Karachi did not appear in the local courts, causing distress to the litigants.
Earlier on Sunday, Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah had ordered the formation of a separate police unit to provide foolproof security to judges. It was also urged that the police unit will be formed through consultations with judges.Â
In a recent meeting, IGP AD Khowaja had briefed Qaim Ali Shah on the progress in the kidnapping case of Awais Shah, where he had informed that his department had acquired access to Awais’ digital data.
Ali Shah was kidnapped from a super market in Clifton on June 21. He has neither been heard of nor recovered till yet.
