Sarfraz declined to offer any comment when questioned by the tribunal that
there were six members of the medical board which had examined the foot
injury of late Sial while he was alive. All of the six members had categorically
stated that they had not given any Press statement. Only one doctor has
stated that he had talked to the Press would you name him?
Q: Your source was only one doctor or more than one doctor?
Ans: In my report published in the daily "Dawn", of September 27th last
issue, it is based only on the information given to me by one doctor of the
board.
Q: If it is put to you that your source had not given to you the information
which formed the basis of your report, would it be correct?
Ans: I stand by my report published in September 27th last issue, it was given
to me by my source.
Q: No revolver was found from the firearms recovered from late Mir
Murtaza's men and therefore your report of September 27th last is incorrect?
Ans: Whatever is stated by me in my report is correct.
My source had informed me that the bullet which had hit late Sial seemed to
be of a revolver. This was the information given to me by my source and not
by late Sial. In conclusion the tribunal wrote, the source of the newsitem has
been disclosed and as such no further action is considered necessary. Notice
to the witness (Sarfraz) is withdrawn.
Ms. Asma Jehangir, advocate represented Sarfraz later the newly engaged
counsel of Ms. Ghinwa Mr Qureshi on a query from the tribunal said that he
would make efforts that her client appears before the tribunal during the next
3-4 days for the purpose of recording her statement in the case.
The tribunal informed Mr Qureshi, that he would have to file an application
for consideration of the tribunal, in case her appearance before the court was
delayed without any genuine or valid justification.
