A contempt petition was filed in the Sindh High Court (SHC) on Tuesday against Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid and Sindh Governor Imran Ismail for making a mockery of the court orders’ in the Nazim Jokhio murder case.
According to the petition, MNA Jam Abdul Karim was granted protective bail by the Sindh High Court in the Nazim Jokhio murder case until March 25.
“Jam Abdul Karim wishes to appear in the trial court in order to surrender,” the petitioner stated.
“However, Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid made a mockery of the court decisions by threatening to arrest the MNA notwithstanding protected bail,” he said.
“The Sindh governor also submitted a letter to the federal government requesting that the name of the MNA be placed on the Exit Control List (ECL),” he continued, threatening both of them with contempt charges.
It should be mentioned that Nazim Jokhio was discovered slain in November last year at the Malir farmhouse of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) MPA Jam Awais. The MPA was arrested, along with his MNA brother Jam Abdul Karim and others, for reportedly torturing Nazim to death while attempting to prevent his foreign guests from hunting houbara bustard.
