Lahore High Court Chief Justice Aalia Neelum summoned Punjab Inspector General of Police Rao Abdul Kareem on Wednesday, accusing him of contempt of court in relation to a Lahore police case. The matter arose from a petition filed by Mian Muhammad Jamil, who claimed the police acted unlawfully in registering a complaint against him.
Superintendent of Police Abdullah represented the Chung police before the court. When Justice Neelum asked SP Abdullah to read out the contents of the FIR against Jamil, he struggled to properly read or recite it. The chief justice expressed her frustration over the illegibility of the FIR, commenting that it was written so poorly it resembled "flies."
Neelum also quipped about the size of the writing being too small. The chief justice then requested that ICC Kareem be present in person on Thursday, in addition to a separate contempt of court case.
