Jirga settles blood dispute
2015-12-10
[DAWN] SUKKUR: A jirga held in Adam Khan Panhwar village near Jacobabad on Tuesday settled a blood dispute between the Shar and Kandhra clans that had resulted in the murder of three men and a woman in Shikarpur five years ago.

Presided over by former Sindh minister Sardar Manzoor Khan Panhwar, the jirga fixed a compensation/fine of Rs2 million for a woman's murder and Rs1 million for a man's murder. The fine/compensation for wounding a person was fixed at Rs100,000.

The Shar clan was ordered to pay Rs3.8 million to the Kandhra clan and the Kandhra clan Rs2.2 million to the Shar clan.

The two sides accepted the verdict and declared an end to their hostility.

#1  Even with the 0.015:1 Rupee conversion to $$, that's some big numbers.
