Judgment text as reported

Citation Name: 2025 MLD 1756 KARACHI-HIGH-COURT-SINDHBookmark this Case Shahzia Bibi VS The Province of Sindh through Prosecutor General Sindh R. 148---Transfer of prisoner---Conviction and sentence awarded to petitioner's husband in a criminal trial by the Court of Sessions Judge East, Islamabad---Pendency of Criminal Appeal against conviction and sentence before Islamabad High Court---Transfer of custody of petitioner's husband to Karachi for facing trial in two criminal cases registered at Karachi---Petitioner sought the retention of her husband's custody of petitioner's husband at Landhi Jail, Karachi, as he was facing trials in Karachi---Contention of the petitioner was that transferring her husband's custody out of Karachi would cause her and her children significant inconvenience---Validity---Respondents, including the Deputy Prosecutor General and the Advocate General, had no objection to retaining the custody of petitioner's husband at Karachi---Rule 148 of the Pakistan Prisons Rules, 1978 (Rules) permits the transfer of a prisoner to a location closer to their home if they are convicted outside their province, which supported the retention of the petitioner's husband custody at Landhi Prison, Karachi for the reason that he was facing two trials in Karachi and his appeal before the Islamabad High Court did not necessitate his detention outside Karachi---Petitioner's submission included evidence of her residence and the respondents showed no objection to the retention request---High Court disposed of the petition with the observation that the prisoner's custody should be retained in Karachi as his transfer to any prison outside Karachi, such as Adyala Jail in Rawalpindi, would not serve any legal or practical purpose---Petition was disposed of accordingly.
