ISLAMABAD: The Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, has taken suo moto notice of illegal occupation and encroachment of properties belonging to the Hindu community in Sindh and fixed Oct 18 for hearing the case.
The action was taken on a video of Prof Dr Bhagwan Devi, wife of Prof Dr Baghwan Das, which has gone viral on the social media, alleging that her land and other properties are being occupied by land mafia.
