Leader of opposition in Balochistan Assembly Yar Muhammad Rind has been arrested as he came out of the court room on the orders of the Supreme Court on Thursday.
It may be noted here that trial court and Balochistan High Court had awarded life imprisonment to Yar Muhammad Rind for not appearing before the courts in a murder case. However, he had filed petition in the apex court against it.
The three member bench of the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry heard the appeal. On this occasion the Chief Justice ordered the arrest of Srdar Yar Mohammad Rind as per requirements of law.
Counsel of Rind, advocate Akram Shaikh pleaded the court to take his client to Sindh House. The Chief Justice ordered to put him in Secretariat police station as law is equal for everyone and he should be presented again on Monday.
Sardar Yar Mohammad Rind took the plea that he was convicted over non appearance in the courts.
He submitted that he could not appear before the courts as the Chief Minister of the Province Aslam Raisani was after his blood due to old enmity between Raisani and Rind tribes. He said that so far 200 people have been killed due to this hostility between the two tribes. He said that was the reason that he was unable to go to Baluchistan.
