An emergency meeting of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Association of Government Engineers (KPAGE) was convened on an incident held with Executive Engineer Public Health Engineering Division Swat Engr Rizwan Ullah and his staff by Asad Hamid Session Judge Swat
An emergency meeting of the KPAGE Core Committee was held in Peshawar under the chairmanship of Engr. Zar Gul Khan, in which representatives of all departments, including Communication and Works Department, Irrigation Local Government and Public Health Engineering Department, participated. KPAGE expressed deep sorrow over the FIR lodged by Session Judge Asad Hamid without any legal reason against Executive Engineer Public Health Engineering Division Swat Engineer Rizwan Ullah and his staff in Swat. This illegal action has spread unrest among all engineers. The FIR lodged by the police contains fabricated information.
On one hand, the Sessions Judge has illegally occupied the bungalow of the Public Engineering Department, which is located in the Public Health Engineering Colony and is now demolishing the building without any approval. On which the Executive Engineer expressed reservations and informed the police about the demolition of the building by suspicious people and requested an FIR.
Instead of taking legal action, the police filed an FIR against the Executive Engineer, Public Health Engineering Department, and other officials for the illegal intervention of the Sessions Judge. They beat up the Public Health Engineering Department official present there and arrested him without any legal reason.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Association of Government Engineers strongly rejects this FIR. And demands that the FIR be quashed and demands the Chief Justice of the Peshawar High Court to take disciplinary action against the said Sessions Judge. KPAGE demands the administration to stop the process of demolishing the building by vacating the illegal occupation of the bungalow of the Public Health Engineering Department. All the documents, including the legal documents of the land, are on record.
KPAGE warns that the Sessions Judge Swat should refrain from harassing and intimidating the employees of the Public Health Engineering Department. KPAGE warns that the police should refrain from taking extreme steps against the staff of the Public Health Engineering Department.
If legal action is not taken against the said judge, KPAGE will decide the next course of action
