How can someone use private guards to start policing traffic on main highways. The Lahore police should register criminal cases against these private guards, the minister responsible for this and arrest all of them for causing public disorder and commotion. This can easily be done through use of Lahore’s safe city cameras. We also have to see if these private guards were armed. What if some poor patient in some ambulance had died on way to hospital emergency or some rich high value VVIP was stuck on the roads through such privately managed road blocks? The worst part is where Lahore police cars are seen facilitating these private militia and private army of the minister to block traffic.

I was asked by @arifanoor72 to comment on the supposed clash between the FCC and the Supreme Court. I think the actual clash was done and over with after Qazi faez Isa’s infiltration and the constitutional amendments. What we’re seeing now is basically a fight over the bones of justice. Mostly for personal gain.

NAB has taken possession of Karachi's Bahria Icon Towers, estimated to be worth around Rs100 billion, after an accountability court confirmed its attachment under the Anti Money Laundering Act, 2010. Investigators concluded the landmark project was financed through proceeds of crime and has now been placed under the custody and management of the local administration.

🚨🚨#BREAKING: On repeatedly pleading by senior counsel #FaisalSiddiqui that never in the history it happened any high court not entertaining urgent hearing application, so that where is my remedy? Where should I go? Lawyer of #Pakistan’s most prominent human rights defenders @ImaanZHazir and @AdvHadiali also informed #SupremeCourt bench that #Islamabad high court defied your orders too. Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar led 3 member bench reluctantly issued notices and adjourned the case till 21st July.

A guy with a loaded gun freely roaming in a sensitive area on a key highway of Islamabad, while kidnapping a girl killed a group captain of #Pakistan air force and after the murder he is arrested because the girl recognise/knew him. And now IG @ICT_Police Ali Nasir Rizvi sitting taking the credit of his arrest after the accused easily murdered an airforce officer. Can anybody make this IG and his team accountable that why #Islamabad become one of the most unsafest city that a sales man get a confidence to roam around in the federal capital with a pistol? Under this IG Ali Nasir Rizvi it’s not a first high profile murder in Islamabad he should be taken to task along his incompetent team of “imported” officers!

White towels are a legacy of British era, when there were few roads, fewer cars and no ACs. Officer toured on horses and towels were an integral part of hygiene routine.

British left, horses were sent away, but towels stayed!

It’s not just towels, the size of tables and colour of ink are also defined by hierarchy.

When I was working at Joint Secretary level with the Vice President of India, I had to fight a stiff battle of sorts to order a smaller table that would fit better in my office. The system would not approve of a smaller table!

Regarding the colour of ink to be used for noting and signature, Sh. Arun Shourie has written a hilarious, if not ridiculous, memoir as minister.

In 1999, two officers in the Ministry of Steel made notings on files using red and green ink.

This raised a furore as they were junior officers. The seniors were scandalised and an enquiry was initiated.

India’s bureaucracy spent 13 months debating which colour ink officers could use on files.

The enquiry was routed through several ministries and departments:

Ministry of Steel wrote to Dept of Administrative Reforms

It referred to Directorate of Printing (ink experts)

Printing referred to Dept of Personnel & Training (DoPT)

DoPT threw the ball back: “it’s your Manual, you decide”

National Archives was consulted for longevity of ink colours

Ministry of Defence consulted for Army ink hierarchy

Conclusion after 13 months: juniors wrote in blue-black or blue ink, because that has the longest life of impression. In British era, the files had to travel to Britain, so juniors would write in ink that would stay for the longest.

The top brass would sign in green and red.

Ruling:

Two new paras were added to the manual of office procedure:

Para 32(9) says that only officers of Joint Secretary level and above may use red or green ink, and that too only in rare cases. Para 68(5), on the other hand, does not limit the use of these colours to any particular rank (as modern ball pen ink have no issues of shelf life for any colour!)

The white towel on the officer’s chair. The red telephone on the desk. The peon standing at the door. The green ink reserved for the senior sahib.
These are not accidents of history. They are architecture, the physical grammar of a bureaucratic culture that worships hierarchy.

Disturbing turn of events in @SohrabBarkatt’s case.

Sohrab had been arrested in a total of three FIRs. In two of these FIRs, he had been granted bail; whereas, in the third, his bail has been filed in the Supreme Court.

Anticipating that @SohrabBarkatt may be granted bail by the Supreme Court in the third/final case, the NCCIA moved for cancellation of one of Sohrab’s existing bails.

Sadly, the matter was fixed before Judge Majhoka (who recently convicted @ImaanZHazir). He heard the matter today and, contrary to established principles of jurisprudence, cancelled Sohrab’s bail.

For legal clarity, the Supreme Court, in the case of Sami Ullah v. Laiq Zada (2020 SCMR 1115) and several others, has already declared that bail can only be “cancelled” in “exceptional” circumstances, if the accused has:

- “misused the bail”;
- “hampered prosecution”;
- “interfered with investigation”;
- “misused his liberty” to commit a crime;
- Is “likely to abscond”; or
- Fresh grounds of arrest have surfaced during investigation.

None of the above apply to Sohrab, who has now been in custody for more than 75 days, and no ability to ‘misuse’ his bail or hamper the ongoing case.

Be that as it may, we are filing an appeal against Judge Majhoka’s order.

Prayers for Sohrab, as always. 🙏🏽
