SC takes suo motu notice of Bahria town race accident - Lahore_Real_Estate - 12-10-2010 07:31 PM
The Supreme Court (SC) on Friday took suo motu notice of the death of five people including three children during a car race in Rawalpindi last Sunday.
The Apex court issued notices to IG Punjab and DCO Rawalpindi to appear on December 13, 2010.
In his remarks Justice Khalilur Rehman Ramday said that five people had died in the car race but no one took notice of it.
The spectators were killed when one of the sports cars skidded off the road and ran them over in Phase VIII of Bahria town, a posh locality in the outskirts of the twin cities.
Driver of car number 707, Muhammad Majid Khan, who is also the senior manager of a national telecom giant, managed to escape from the scene with a few injuries, the police had informed earlier.
It was not clear if the race was legally organised or not. The Rawat area police had denied having given permission to the telecom company to organise the race. The company officials, however, had somehow managed to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Bahria Town management.
