SC orders early completion of Hindu shrine in Karak Top Story April 1, 2021 ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday directed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to ensure early completion of a shrine of Hindu saint Shri Paramhans Ji Maharaj in Karak, restraining the Hindu community from interfering in the process. A two-member bench of the apex court comprising Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed and Justice Ijazul Ahsen heard a suo motu case about the desecration/burning of the shrine by a mob in Karak as well as a minorities rights case. On December 31, the chief justice had taken a suo motu notice of the incident and directed the One Man Commission on Minorities Rights, the chief secretary KP and the IGP KP to visit the site and submit a compliance report. The court directed the chief secretary to ensure that there is no delay in the completion of the shrine in six months and restrained the Hindu community from interfering in the process. During the course of hearing, the KP advocate general informed the court that the reconstruction of the shrine is scheduled to begin by the contractor concerned. However, Hindu leader Ramesh Kumar restrained the contractor from the work.
