Srinagar, Nov 10: The Registrar High Court would submit an inquiry report on Wednesday in the contempt petition filed by the chairman of Hurriyat Conference (G), Syed Ali Shah Geelani, against the police officials and deputy commissioner Budgam, on house arrest.
 The son-in-law and lawyer of Geelani, Altaf Ahmad, told Greater Kashmir that the Registrar, Abdul Rashid Malik, recorded the statements of the veteran leader and his associates at his Hyderpora residence. Malik was appointed commissioner by Justice Hakeem Imtiyaz Hussain to make on-the-spot observations about the complaints made in the petition.
 “He visited the residence of Geelani Sahib and he (Geelani) informed him about the restrictions imposed by the police on his movement over the past two months including arrests and house arrests,” Altaf said, adding that the police deployment outside Geelani’s residence was lifted minutes before the visit of the commissioner.
 Altaf said the petition would be heard again on Wednesday. “The commissioner will present his report before the court and it will then pass the further directions in the case,” he added.
