Model jail in Islamabad: IHC issues notice, seeks reply from respondents

Islamabad: Islamabad High Court (IHC) has issued notice and sought reply from respondents on the petition related to establishment of model jail in Islamabad. Chief Justice (CJ) IHC Aamer Farooq remarked I am hearing the cases here since 10 years but nothing has been done. What should we hope for now. The project had started during Iftikhar Chaudhry tenure and now 14 years have passed. Iftikhar Chaudhry had laid foundation stone. The petition regarding establishment of model jail in Islamabad came up for hearing before IHC Monday. The CJ IHC Aamer Farooq heard the petition. CJ IHC Aamer Farooq remarked Adiala jail is too far off. Court room should be therein for jail trial. The attendance of the accused will be made through video link. The counsel said model jail is necessary. Security problems too will not be resolved. The court while issuing notice to the respondents sought reply from them.
