The Supreme Court on Thursday resumed the hearing of the Karachi law and order case.
A five-member larger bench of the apex court hearing the case for the implementation of the apex court’s earlier order in a Karachi killings suo motu case.
Last year, the Supreme Court had given its detailed order in the case after the chief justice had taken suo motu action on the security situation in the city.
During the hearing, the police submitted its report pertaining to targeted killings and told the bench that police had been taking targeted action against terrorists.
The court was moreover informed that terrorists had targeted high-ranking police officials on several occasions.
The bench summoned a list of people murdered during the past one year.
Justice Khilji in his remarks said that 90 per cent of the city’s population was undergoing immense mental stress, adding that, each killing led to creating fear and panic amongst the public.
He said the police had been labelling murders as targeted killings on its whim, adding that, it was ordinary people who had been dying.
Earlier on Wednesday, the bench had ordered the Sindh police chief and other authorities to submit a report on infiltration of over 7,000 Taliban activists in Karachi and release of 150 convicts on parole
