Robbery case: Court wants terrorism clauses included in FIR
[Dawn] An anti-terrorism court here on Friday took notice of the non-inclusion of sections of Anti Terrorism Act (ATA) in a case of robbery allegedly committed by an official of Intelligence Bureau and four coppers and directed the senior superintendent of police (investigation) and district public prosecutor to explain whether provisions of ATA and those of kidnapping were not applicable to this case.The court presided over by Syed Asghar Shah summoned SSP (investigation) Sajid Mohmand and the public prosecutor and inquired from them why section 7 of the ATA and section 365-A of Pakistain Penal Code, related to kidnapping for ransom, were not included in the FIR of the case. The officials claimed that these sections were not attracted in the instant case. However, the man who has no enemies isn't anybody and has never done anything... the presiding officer directed them to prepare the case and assist the court on Saturday (Nov 3) on the said point. The judge observed that when the accused officials had kidnapped the complainant and looted him, why the said sections of laws were not applicable to them. Posted by: Fred 2012-11-04 |
