Pakistan, Oct. 28 -- The Lahore High Court suspended a judicial penalty imposed on Station House Officer (SHO) Kot Lakhpat Afzal Rauf. A special anti-narcotics court in Lahore had previously fined the police official Rs 200 for failing to present official case records. Following an official appeal filed by the police officer, the high court suspended the sentence against surety bonds worth Rs 50,000. Furthermore, the high court bench issued formal notices to relevant judicial parties regarding subsequent appellate proceedings. Consequently, the appellate court put the trial court's order on hold pending a final judicial review.
