Mir Raza judicial commission proceedings adjourned till Oct 2 upon term expiry
Sindh govt to decide on its proposed extension on October 1
The judicial commission examining the murder of Mir Raza Ali has adjourned its proceedings until October 2, as its current mandate has expired and the Sindh government has yet to decide on an extension. The commission, headed by Justice Omar Sial, was notified on August 24 that it would be formed to investigate the death of 25-year-old Mir Raza Ali, following his nomination by the Sindh High Court chief justice.
The first hearing took place on September 1. The commission requested an extension until October 15, to which the Sindh government's focal person Javed Ahmed Abro informed that the request had been approved by the chief minister and forwarded to the Sindh Cabinet for decision. The Cabinet is expected to meet on October 1. The order from the commission states that if the Sindh Cabinet does not approve an extension, no further witnesses will be summoned, and the commission will prepare and submit its report based on existing statements.
If the tenure is extended, fresh notices will be issued to witnesses, and questionnaires will be sent to three senior police officers.
