| Swat Qazi courts formally start work |
| 2009-03-18 |
| SWAT: The Qazi courts have formally started working here. Tehrik-e-Nifaz Shariat Muhammadi (TNSM) chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad yesterday said that the Qazis would be giving decisions in courts and there was no need of judges coming to the courts. He said that following provincial government's announcement relating to the setting up of Shariat courts, the judicial system in Malakand Division and Kohistan has been rendered defunct and, therefore, the decisions of the judges would not be acceptable. Maulana Sufi Muhammad would personally supervise the working of the courts. After Swat, Qazi courts would begin working in District Dir, Boner, Malakand Agency, Shangla, Kohistan and then Chitral. |
