Q: In your experience were there any hand-written reports sent to the
government?
A: So far only two, in the case of Sial and ASP Shahid Hayat.
Q: Was there any urgency about the report in this case?
A: There was no urgency at that time.
Q: Did no body tell you that the health secretary was asking for the report
urgently?
A: Honestly speaking, I can say that till the writing of the report, there was no
urgency shown for the report. I thought there would be another meeting and
the issue would be discussed and the report would be prepared, signed and
submitted.
Q: You still maintain that the hand-written report was incorrect and
incomplete?
A: It was in complete but correct. We had not seen the injury, before it was
written.
Q: Are both reports correct?
A: The typed report with eight signatures was more complete.
Q: More complete means that it was more curtailed in facts and opinion?
A: Yes. The second report was based on what was asked for by the
government.
The tribunal observed that it was he who started all this by challenging the
original report and raising objections. It would have been appropriate to
submit both the reports to the government. He was asked why he not
suggested to the chairman to do so.
