KARACHI: Supreme Court on Friday could not take up the implementation of its landmark 2011 judgement handed down in a suo motu case regarding the law and order situation in Karachi. The apex court bench comprising Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed, Justice Faisal Arab and Justice Sajjad Ali Shah was set to take up the case at the Supreme Court’s Karachi registry. The chief justice at the time said that if target killings continued in Karachi, it would be difficult for the government to remain in power. The apex court has also formed a committee to monitor the city’s law and order situation. A year later, the apex court had initiated follow-up proceedings to see to what extent the authorities at different levels had implemented its judgement and issued several orders during the lengthy implementation proceedings over the years.
