Media man still under curbs in Pakistan

One year has been passed since the filing of 20 Criminal and Civil ,frivolous false cases by the then Chief Controller of Karachi Building Control Authority for writing the corruption stories with substantiated Proves against the Corrupt practice of KBCA officials.
These cases were filed in the Sindh High Court and Lower Court of Karachi just to pressurize , punish and stop the Editor of Yahoo News, Mr.Tausif Hanif to further write against the Corrupt KBCA officials.
The First Civil Suit 1594/2007 was specially filed in the court of a PCO Judge Mr, Qazi Khalid .That judge had worked as a lawyer of KBCA authority in past and had been given hefty fees for that. In normal practice the judges never hear cases of the parties for which they had worked and had been paid in the past. But that Judge purposefully heard the case and in the very first hearing of case granted stay order in favor of Corrupt KBCA Officials and barred the Editor of Yahoo News to further publish any News against the Corrupt KBCA officials. It may be noted here that PCO Judge Qazi Kahlid has served as a minister in Sindh Government in the past and he was actively involved with a certain political party.
Editor of Yahoo News Mr.Tausif Hanif asked the Judge that he should be given time for hiring the lawyer and preparation of case. But the PCO Judge granted stay order in favour of Corrupt KBCA Officials.
Few months ago, After the Change of Government then Chief Controller of KBCA Rauf Akhter Farooqui was removed from the department of KBCA by the PPP Provincial Miniseter for Local government Agha Siraj Durrani and an other Corrupt officer Mr, Manzoor Abdul Qadir Kaka was appointed as a Chief Controller of KBCA due to his linkage and support for PPP.
New Chief Controller of KBCA Manzoor Abdul Qadir Kaka has been also working like his predecessor and has not taken back these fales cases which were initiated and filed by the Ex CCOB of KBCA Rauf Akhtar Farooqui
