Retired baboo urges CJ for justice

ISLAMABAD: A top retired government official who is allegedly being victimized by high court’s officials illegally Sunday asked the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take notice of unprecedented illegalities.

Addressing a press conference here in the National Press Club former Secretary and Member Board of Revenue in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa Reayat Khan said that Additional Registrar Peshawar High Court Rauf Khattak, who managed to emerge as most powerful and rich person in Dera Ismail Khan, is directly responsible for implicating him and his family in the fake cases.
Khan, who served the government as provincial Secretary in various departments, said he and his educated sons, one of them a doctor and another a lawyer, were implicated in a case of attack on houses of Khattak’s brothers.
But still illegal steps were taken while implicating his family in fake cases, he added. “On January 12, 2010 case was entered in record register against unidentified attackers but on January 26, 2010, I and my family were charged and FIR in this connection was registered on January 30, 2010. But on February 1, 2010 they were declared as proclaimed offender which is illegal.” He said that after charging someone for an offence at least 30 days are required by law before announcing some one as proclaimed offender.
To a question he said, that the Peshawar High Court’s additional registrars Khattak and Sahibzada Khurshid Ahmed are politically motivated who want deprive him of his property.
Khan said that some property was transferred to him by his mother about 17 years ago and the then Tehsildar of Karak Mohammad Ghulam is a witness to the deal. “Ghulam Muhammad who is now working as Kanoon Guh with the KP government was shown as dead in the documents to weaken my hold on the property. And I have a written proof in this connection,” he alleged.
He claimed that he wrote to the Chief Justice of Peshawar high court in this connection but he take no notice of the situation, saying that he also has written proof in this connection.
He said that last year, attack was carried on houses of the registrar’s brothers Lal Sharif, Abdul Hameed, Muhammad Hayat and SDO Sher Afzal, who is as he said, facing cases of corruption in National Accountability Bureau. Online
