I applause the court's decision. Police Officer and officials are punished due to not performing their duty of protecting public. This punishment is a lesson and wake-up call for police department and a reminder for them that they are the protector and servants of public, not masters. When you administered such a brutal incidents then certainly you get back such things. Why their is a hue and cry over a punishing public servant for misconducts. Why we want to keep British legacy?

Generally, all public service institutions and specifically police department is keeping the legacy of British Raj. They are keeping the intrusive, extractive, compulsive and humiliating style of British government for this public. We need a plenty of these type of decisions to make public services realized that they are public servants not masters. Hats off to independent judiciary.

The role of judiciary and media is controversial.i don't call it independence of judiciary when it takes sou moto notice of mainly those cases which are highlighted by media or politically motivated cases.infact media has made it difficult for puplic servants to perform their duties freely.they are living in fear that they can be held responsible even for performing their duties.main ne tu logoan ko yeh bhi kehte suna hai k agar media kisi k peche par jaaey tu usay barbad ker k chorti hai.not only policemen but also doctors are reluctant to perform their duties in casualty wards because if any patient dies of natural cause doctors will be blamed for negligence and then their whole career will be at stake.it is rightly said that this is age of media because people believe whatever media propagates whether right or wrong.

even if two brothers were criminals they should have been brought to justice by courts but this did not happen.why people resort to mob justice? because they have no hope in institutions.they know that if culprits were arrested they would be released after a short period by judiciary due to LACK OF EVIDENCE.there exist proper mechanism for every thing but unfortunately no one follow it.i don't see any improvement in role of judiciary.what benefit it had provided to common man?it cannot be called independent after deciding some political cases.

And where was it that I was trying to mince words?

PPC does not define right of private defence, but the limitations tell us more than enough. There is no right of private defence while there is time to recourse to the protection of public authorities (Sec 199). The right does not extend to causing more harm than necessary (Sec 199). Right of private defence of body and property commence as soon as the apprehension arises and continues till that apprehension continues (Sec 103 and 104).

I told you crux of a few sections just to let you know that the case was never one of self defence. If you are not a proponent of public lynching then you shouldnt have any problem with the verdict. Yes, few things need to be answerd and I am sure the complete verdict will reveal everything but still, it was a good step.

I havent heard any senior Judge talking against the punishment that was awarded to the DPO. Plus, why most of the people over here just have a problem with the impriosnment awarded to DPO? What about the lower ranks of police?

It might be the same reason for which most of the CSPs are against military and love razzing it all the time, lol. Dont take it as a pinch of salt, lighten up.

An excellent decision.

one should wait at least for the detailed decision of the case by the court before calling it a politically motivated decision or criticising it.

Just want to know about the status of DPO after this decision.
Can he resume his job after 3 years or is he gone forever?

DPO k pass poray district ka charge hota hy wo koi jin tu hy nhi k har waqt har jaga maujood rhay....agr DPO ko is liye punish kia gya k ye waqaya us k area mn hua and he is resposible....tu i think wat about giving punishment to interior minister and even to prime minister..

NO,he cannot resume his job after the imprisonment.but the decision is likely to be reversed after the appeal in high court as it happens usually in such cases.

there are very few examples in PAK where officers of such level were sentenced.

first things first, i would like to second court's decision!

secondly, had court set criminals(i would include dpo too) free, the same members, who are criticising this decision, would have been critical of that too.

lets discuss dpo delimma as one august member of this forum is really feeling the heat!

is dpo innocent????

absolutely not! because he was present at the place where criminals were on a lynching-spree....he was acting like an ordinary person spectating the brutal killing of two bros ignoring the fact that he was dpo n is supposed to uphold rule of law n take action or atleast should try to stop the lynchers from carrying on that murderous act, if not anything else...i wonder why some of the members are saying that dpo could not have done anything but what he actually did, i.e. merely beholding the bros lynched to death! this is farce! even matter did not end there. afterwards, the death bodies were dafamed in a highly uncivilized manner...no action taken!

let me say that if dpo cannot handle a few violaters, then he should stay home n take care of his biwi-bachay!

n those who are casting aspersions on the intentions of the judges who announced this judgement must hold on n let the law take its course....
