On Wednesday, a sessions court in Lahore ordered the registration of a criminal case against Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and top police officials for the authorities’ alleged torture of lawyers in the provincial capital on the day of the PTI’s Azadi March. The order was issued after a lawyer named Haider Majeed Advocate petitioned the court and accused the police of not registering a case as sought. The court, after hearing arguments, asked the petitioner to approach the relevant SHO with a copy of the court order to proceed with the matter.
