Living witness shown as dead to protect colleague
Chief Justice Pakistan asked to ensure justice
Islamabad: Aug 17
A responsible judicial official has been alleged to show a living witness as dead in an inquiry against his colleague.
The witness, who is a serving official of Board of Revenue was shown as dead after his refusal to hide facts.
According to a report on a local TV channel, former Secretary Board of Revenue Reayat Khan has filed a complaint in the Peshawar High Court (PHC) against an additional registrar in which harassment was alleged.
Reayat in his complaint said that the additional registrar is using his official position to make life difficult for him.
The Chief Justice PHC ordered an inquiry into the case during which Tehsildar Muhammad Ghulam refused misrepresentation following which he was declared dead more than once in the report.
When contacted, the inquiry officer, who is also an additional registrar said that it was a trying mistake. However, he could not clarify that why Tehsildar Muhammad Ghulam was not included in the report as a witness.
Meanwhile, Reayat Khan, who has served as Secretary in half a dozen departments termed it a lame excuse. He said that what could be the reason behind other contradictions in the said inquiry report.
He said that declaring a serving government official as dead, another wealthy as bankrupt and healthy as ill amounts to playing with the law.
The former bureaucrat said that this is a test case for superior judiciary which is honestly striving for eradication of corruption and rule of law in the country.
He requested the Chief Justice Pakistan to take note of the situation and ensure justice.
