LAHORE
A contempt petition has been filed in the Lahore High Court against Aitchison College’s Board of Directors for not complying with the orders of the court regarding the settlement between them and the reinstated principal Raja Ghazanfar.
Raja Ghazanfar filed the petition submitting that the members of the Board of Governors violated the court’s order and took away all the perks and privileges from him despite that the matter was settled during the last hearing.
The petitioner said that car and house both had been taken from him and by doing this, the members of the Board of Governors had violated the orders of the court. He pleaded the court to initiate contempt proceedings against the members of the BoGs.
Previously, Raja Ghazanfar himself offered reconciliation to the petitioner's party during in-camera proceedings held at the chamber of Justice Mamoon Rashid Sheikh of the Lahore High Court.
According to the settlement, the principal had to use the perks and privileges available to him but was not allowed to interfere into the matters of the college as a principal. The court adjourned the matter until Sept 30 as the Punjab governor was abroad who had to decide the matter.
Aitchison Colleges' Board of Governors had filed a petition and challenged the stay order earlier granted to the principal.
encounter: A petition has been filed before the Lahore High Court by a woman seeking action against a landlord of Tehsil Fortabbas allegedly involved in getting her 13-year-old son killed in a fake encounter by police against the charges of stealing Rs100. Robina Kasur, a resident of Tehsil Fortabbas, District Bahawalnagar, filed the petition contending that police took her son Muneeb into their custody and kept him somewhere unknown. After some days, police killed her son in a fake encounter.
The petitioner said her son was accused of stealing Rs100 from the house of a local landlord Kaleem Khan Lodhi, who, she alleged, got her son killed in connivance with local police. She wrote many applications to the high police officials but no action was taken against the killers of her son, the petitioner said.
She stated that she approached DPO Bahawalnagar but in vain. The petitioner prayed the court to order the Inspector General Police Punjab to hold inquiry into the fake encounter which took life of her son.
Later, talking to the reporters, the petitioner told reporters that she and her husband Muhammad Imran were busy in lunch after filing writ petition when some unidentified persons came and took her husband away.
custody: An Additional District and Sessions Court on Tuesday handed over the custody of a minor child to her mother after getting him recovered from the illegal custody of father. As per case details, Tehmina, a resident of Baghbanpura, had filed a habeas corpus petition in the court alleging that her husband Asif Raza had kept illegally her three- month old son Shabbir Raza. She said she had a bitter wedlock due to which scuffle on domestic issues was a routine matter. A few days back, her husband tortured her, kicked her out from his house and snatched her baby, she added. She implored the court for the recovery of her son.
On her plea, the court appointed the SHO concerned as bailiff. The SHO produced the minor before the court after getting him recovered from the custody of his father Asif Raza.
Later, the child was handed over to her mother.
