The Judicial Magistrate Central issued notices to KMC and others on the claim of Rs110 million made by a citizen on the death of his wife and his son who fell into a drain in Shadman during rain.
Muhammad Danish, the impacted citizen, filed a Rs110 million lawsuit against KMC and others in Karachi City Court.
Usman Farooq Advocate stated that on July 17, due to the negligence of KMC, my client’s wife Saman and his 3-month-old son Azlan died after falling into a drain.
KMC and DMC are directly responsible for the deaths because even after several complaints, the administration did not pay attention to the open drain and should be ordered to pay damages. Had KMC taken timely measures, the accident would not have happened.
The court issued notices to KMC and asked the authorities to respond on October 24.
