KARACHI: Taking
notice of the apathy of the provincial government
towards prisoners at the Central Prison Karachi and
other prisons, a division bench summoned on Monday
the Sindh health secretary, home secretary, head of
development to appear before it on March 16.
The bench was hearing
an application filed by social worker Syed Iqbal
Kazmi, which was converted into a constitutional
petition. The petition was about the plight of jail
inmates who are suffering from HIV/AIDs but are
denied treatment as funds for the programme were
diverted for the rehabilitation of people displaced
by the floods.
The bench noted that
its September 3, 2010 order had not been implemented
to date.
