Qazi courts in Action- Issues arrest warrent

Re: Reality of Qazi Court system- Who is in control?

Ansar Abassi is a “wordmith” and he is giving you what you want to hear … Qazis are to be “duly appointed judicial officers” … what is the ground reality. Last month the Qazi courts started working … with Qazis appointed by Sufi Mohamad … now all the government has to do is give them “appointment letters” (after all they have to be paid from the government treasury) and they become “duly appointed judicial officers” … :slight_smile:

The seven qazis posted recently in Swat on the directives of Maulana Sufi Mohammad heard cases.
The qazis are: Pirzada Noor Mohammad Shah and Ihsanur Rehman at Babozai area; Rasool Shah and Sajadur Rehman at Kabal; Riaz Ali at Matta; Mohammad Rehman at Khwazakhela; and Umar Ali Khan at Bahrain.

Meanwhile as much Ansar Abassi would like you to believe … the local judiciary has been asked by the government to stay “at home” for their own security …
