HYDERABAD, March 27: The district and sessions judge here on Saturday ordered registration of a case against the Anti-Car Lifting Cell officials for the death of a estate agency owner.

The order was passed by judge Zaheeruddin S. Leghari after completion of a judicial inquiry ordered on a petition filed by Rasool Bakhsh, father of the deceased agency owner, Hubdar Leghari, seeking registration of a case against the police officials.

On Feb 27, 2003, the ACLC officials intercepted a car near Mustafa Town here and an exchange of fire followed. As a result, Hubdar and Manzoor Jatoi were killed and Ghulam Shabbir Kalhoro was injured.

The officials put the responsibility of the incident on the car occupants as they were allegedly the first to open fire.

The inquiry remained pending for about a year. However, on completion of the inquiry, the court ordered registration of the complaint as a cognizable case had been made against the accused.
