Mir Raza judicial commission’s term extended until October 15
Cabinet decides that Justice Umar Sial could continue inquiry beyond extended deadline if further time is required
The Sindh Cabinet recently approved extending the term of the judicial commission investigating the death of Mir Raza Ali until October 15, allowing Justice Omar Sial to continue proceedings if additional time is needed. The commission was formed on August 24 to probe the murder of 25-year-old Mir Raza Ali, who was found dead in Karachi on July 29, 2026.
Justice Sial was appointed as the head of the commission based on a nomination from the Sindh High Court chief justice. The commission first held a hearing on September 1 and had already recorded statements from dozens of witnesses. However, due to the commission's prolonged proceedings and the need to record further statements, the Sindh Cabinet decided to extend its term until October 15.
The commission had already requested an extension, which was approved by the Sindh government. If the cabinet had not approved the extension, the commission would have prepared and submitted its report based on the statements recorded so far.
