SHC approached for proper regulation of sale and purchase of acid Karachi January 15, 2021 The Sindh High Court (SHC) has issued notices to the Sindh advocate general and others on a petition seeking proper regulation against widespread unregistered sale of acid to prevent acid attacks in the country. The petitioner, a non-government organisation, through its representative Musarrat Misbah had approached the high court against the government failure to set up a framework to regulate the sale and purchase of acid. The petitioner submitted that such open and widespread sale of corrosive substance in effect facilitated the commission of heinous crime of acid throwing, which constituted a clear violation of fundamental right to life guaranteed under the constitution.
