The Illusion of Inquiry: IHC Rebukes Capital Police for Forcing 'Paper Justice' Upon the Bench

Islamabad: The ability of investigating the lodged cases and FIRs of Islamabad Police was questioned  by the Islamabad High Court IHC on Thursday.

The Justice of IHC khadim Hussain soomro severely challenged  the capability of Islamabad police and the probing sessions escalated by the Islamabad police particularly in 4 cases.

The practices which were made to conduct the probing sessions were  gravely   disapproved by the justice soomro. The superintendent of Islamabad police SSP's  presence was required to justify the mentioned issue.

Amid the conversation held with SSP the judge came to the conclusion that previous four cases  which had been presented in front of the court and the interrogative sessions in all 4 cases had not been executed lawfully.

Comment was passed by the court that  "these are 4 cases and the vestigation was not done properly in all of them" , further more it was sad that when a matter is presented in front of the court the fate of it depends on the  debriefing sessions and the manner of investigations done by the police.

Consequently due to the gross negligence it was decided to bring justice to the   decisions made by the court on the basis of maladministration  because  no alternative was left besides setting  the suspect free.

Keeping in view the large volume of  salaries of Islamabad police fierce pushback was ignited regarding the low standards of investigation.

In justifying his action of requiring the SSP to the High Court the judge stated that "we have not called any senior officer here in one and a half years, we do not even think it is good that any senior officer should be called to the court"  although he said the situation had now left no room for leniency  and he had to do this.

Judge a priced the SSP that the present scenario has reached the threshold of acceptability and now strict measures had to be taken to take the control of the situation. Lawful investigations are required and it should be the utmost concern of any legal entity or official to do justice in their query sessions. He further admonished  the SSP that "if the investigation goes badly in future we will issue and order against the Islamabad police." Court reminded the police officers that their duties not only

Subsumes the arresting of the accused and the lodging of cases but also stretching to their true capabilities to gather authentic proof and to complete the rigorous debriefing sessions before the court.
