Darpan News Desk IANS, 12 Oct, 2018 07:22 PM

Pakistan’s Chief Justice Saqib Nisar has taken cognizance of alleged illegal encroachments of the properties of Hindus after a protesting woman professor appealed to him, saying the minority community was facing the “worst lawlessness and mismanagement” in the country.

Justice Nisar, known for his judicial activism, issued notices to federal and Sindh provincial authorities after watching a video message by retired professor Dr Bhagwan Devi. His office said he had decided to take up her plea and fixed October 18 for the hearing.

The court issued notices to the attorney general for Pakistan, advocate general of Sindh, secretary of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony, secretary of human rights, Sindh chief secretary, secretary of Minority Affairs Department, Sindh government and the Larakna district commissioner.

DawnNews TV reported that Devi, in the video, said the Hindus of Sindh were facing “the worst lawlessness and mismanagement” in the country.
