SC asks litigants to compromise or face the music

ISLAMABAD - Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the litigants of ‘’PolyClinic Torture Case’’ to either strike an out of court compromise or face the course of law.
The suggestion was made to both the embattled groups, one comprising doctors of Federal Government Services Hospital (FGSH) and second the family of a senior bureaucrat Tariq Khakwani, by a three-judge bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar.
The august bench is seized with the matter since November 10 when Chief Justice of Pakistan took suo motu notice of the issue amid hue and cry of the doctors of federal capital that local police was failing to take action against the offenders due to influence of Tariq Khakwani who is presently Deputy Secretary, National Assembly.
Men of Khakwani family had allegedly beaten the medical staff including a lady doctor at FGSH on November 1 after the daughter-in-law of Tariq was declined a non-prescribed medicine.
