A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry made the observation on Wednesday while hearing a petition filed by Insaaf Welfare Trust chairman Muhammad Aslam Khaki pertaining to the rights of 'hijras' or eunuchs.
Almas Bobby, the president of a hijra association welcomed the suggestion and said they were prepared to shame such people by clapping and dancing outside their homes. "We will go to their homes and sing, dance and clap outside their doors and ask them to return what they have looted from the country. We will gherao their homes and ask them to return the loans or wear bangles and join us," Bobby said.
Over the past few days, the apex court has also been hearing another case about bank loans worth Rs 193.4 billion being written off by over 30 banks during 1997-2009.
While advising the federal government and provincial social welfare departments to consider using eunuchs for recovering loans, the bench said the appointment of eunuchs for this purpose would also provide them respectable employment.
