KARACHI, Aug 10: A sessions court on Friday disposed of an application regarding the alleged detention of a young woman after she submitted that she was willingly living with her husband and her parents were misleading the court about her detention.

Applicant Mohammad Siddiq submitted that his 18-year-old daughter had contracted marriage of her free will with Shabbir a few months ago.

However, he said that his daughter phoned him a few days back and said that her husband had been subjecting her to torture and forcibly detaining her at their house in Malir for the past few weeks.

The applicant prayed to the court to recover his daughter.

The court directed the SHO of the Malir City police station to produce the woman and her husband.

The police brought the couple before District and Sessions Judge (Malir) Mohammad Yamin on Friday, but the young woman said that she was neither tortured nor detained by force and she was living with her spouse by consent and her parents were trying to mislead the court.

Hearing her statement, the applicant, the woman’s mother and brother, who were present in the courtroom, reacted aggressively. However, the judge warned them to maintain the decorum of the court and allowed the woman to go with her husband.

Order to attach warehouse The drugs court on Friday ordered the police to seal and attach a warehouse in a case pertaining to the sale of spurious drugs.

The police and drug officials raided a warehouse within the remit of the Jauharabad police station in June 2006 and held Humayun Akhtar for allegedly selling and repacking expired drugs. However, the suspect did not appear in court after getting bail.

Earlier, the court had declared the suspect an absconder since the police said that they were unable to trace him.

On Friday, the court directed the Jauharabad SHO to seal and attach the warehouse in question in the presence of a judicial magistrate and submit a compliance report on Sept 12.
