Chairman: Was that a child's play. Were you writing a story for children.
Apparently, we will give a you a notice of perjury. Once a board signs a
report, it becomes functus. It cannot continue to function indefinitely until
you correct all the procedures.
Witness: I am an open book.
Tribunal: You are a closed book.
Witness: When we finally went to the house of Dr. Shah, he refused to sign.
He saw the original report written by him and the typed version and because
there were changes, he refused to sign it.
Q: How long you were with him?
A: About one to one-and-half-hour. During this period, Dr. Karim Siddiqui
offered Asr prayers in a mosque.
Q: Could you have stayed with Dr. Shah for four to five hours?
A: No.
Q: Did you or Dr. Karim Siddiqui talked to Health Secretary from the house
of Dr. Shah?
A: He talked to the health secretary, Dr. Kamil Rajpar, and I don't know what
did they talk.
Q: Was that an only call made or many more?
A: I don't remember how many times the calls were made. Nobody else was
contacted other than the health secretary. In my presence, Dr. Shah told Dr.
Siddiqui that there was no sanctity of the report, and, therefore, I am not
signing. Next day a meeting was held at the AKUH to talk to Dr. Shahzad,
who operated upon ASP Shahid Hayat, but he was not produced. When Dr.
Shah refused to sign the report, it was maintained that the new typed report
was to be ignored and the original to be maintained.
