Lahore Court Orders Police Report on Petition Over Saba Qamar Wearing SP Uniform

The petition seeks a criminal case alleging unauthorized use of a police uniform under Pakistan’s impersonation laws.

Overview

  • A sessions judge in Lahore directed Anarkali Police to submit findings within a week on a plea linked to a video showing Saba Qamar in a superintendent of police uniform.
  • Advocate Aftab Bajwa filed the petition on behalf of citizen Wasim Zawar, asserting that wearing a police uniform or SP badge requires prior authorization.
  • The filing invokes Pakistan Penal Code sections 171 and 419, which address fraudulent use of official dress and personation.
  • The petitioner asked the court to instruct police to register a criminal case, arguing the act harmed the morale and image of Punjab Police.
  • No charges have been brought, and the court will consider next steps after reviewing the police report, with possible penalties including fines or imprisonment if violations are established.
