Summary Justice Shauqat Aziz told IG he was directly responsible for Musharraf's escape from court.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - The Islamabad High Court on Friday reserved the ruling over the capital city police’s failure to arrest former president Pervez Musharraf immediately after the cancellation of his protective bail on Thursday.
The court had taken a notice of police’s inaction and had summoned Inspector-General Islamabad police Bani Amin Khan over Musharraf’s escape from the court after the IHC had rejected the extension of protective bail granted to the former military ruler in the judges’ detention case.
The court reprimanded Khan over the Islamabad police’s failure to apprehend Musharraf who had managed to transport to his farmhouse in Chak Shehzad, an area on the outskirts of Islamabad, and said in its remarks that the inspector general was not eligible to hold his post.
Moreover, Justice Shauqat Aziz Siddiqui told Khan he was directly responsible for the incident.
Justice Siddiqui also said although he had suspended the sub-inspector, the responsibility ultimately lay with the IG who should have been suspended.
