Mir Raza case report deadline extended to October 15

The Sindh government has extended the term of the judicial commission investigating the Mir Raza Ali murder case until October 15. According to Dawn - Pakistan, the commission was formed in late August, headed by Sindh High Court's Justice Omar Sial, to examine the circumstances surrounding Ali's death and determine any negligence in the murder probe.

The commission had been given 30 days to complete its investigation, but it adjourned its proceedings on Monday after being informed that a cabinet meeting to approve an extension was set for October 1. The cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, approved the extension, allowing Justice Omar Sial to continue the inquiry if more time was required.

The Daily Times reports that the decision to extend the commission's term was made during a Sindh cabinet meeting. The commission has conducted extensive proceedings, including recording statements from dozens of witnesses, and required more time to complete its investigation and compile its findings and recommendations.
