A two-judge bench headed by CJP Nisar is hearing a suo motu case against land grabber Mansha Bomb at the Supreme Court's Lahore Registry.
As the hearing went under way, the chief justice censured the Punjab Police over not returning the land recovered from Mansha Bomb to affected people and rejected a report submitted by DIG Police.
“Is this Naya Pakistan’s police? The police should be ashamed, they are abused but still defend gangsters. Police cannot control one Mansha Bomb," the top judge remarked.
“You are involved with gangsters. Is this how you are safeguarding the law?” Justice Nisar asked.
Following this, DIG Police Waqqas Nazir informed the bench, “The police arrested Mansha Bomb and Khadim Hussain Rizvi. We are implementing court orders.”
At this, the chief justice asked the DIG, “What is your relation with Mansha Bomb? Why are you defending him? You will not go back in your uniform. We are summoning Mansha Bomb, Afzal Khokhar and all others involved in this case.”
Justice Nisar then ordered that Mansha Bomb be brought from the jail to court.
The bench the summoned IG Punjab, DC Lahore, sessions judge, related civil judges and overseas Pakistanis judge Noor Muhammad in his chambers.
Further, the court ordered that land be returned to the concerned people by midnight today and a report be presented in this regard.
On October 15, Mansha Bomb was arrested from the Supreme Court premises after he surrendered himself.
