The family of Mir Raza Ali, a 25-year-old businessman murdered in Karachi, has moved the Sindh High Court (SHC) against the provincial government's decision to form a judicial commission to review the investigation into his death. Ali's family argues that a judicial commission should not replace an independent, impartial multi-agency Joint Investigation Team (JIT) to probe the case.

The petitioners have also sought the court's directives for the JIT to investigate potential motives such as extortion, ransom, organised criminal activity, or business disputes, and to determine if the facts attract any provisions of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997.
