The implementation case pertaining to the commission’s recommendations for finding the missing Baloch students was heard by Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani.
Hadi Ali Chattha and Imaan Zainab Mazari made an appearance as the missing Baloch students’ attorneys.
Inquiring about the number of terrorism cases against Baloch students in the previous ten years, Justice Kayani heard the case. The bench asked, “How many students were harassed, arrested, or disappeared?”
The AGP stated that “some progress” has been achieved on the matter and that the intelligence services could not harass any citizens. The bench questioned, “Now you will summon secret agencies to police station.” “No, sir,” the AGP replied.
“We just want to stop acts against the law; no one questions their ability to operate under the law,” the court declared.
“Knowing the agencies’ operational procedures will be beneficial. According to the legislation, the FIA and police could conduct investigations, and the agencies support them in doing so, according to Justice Mohsin Akhtar. He went on, “We have to operate inside the legal system.
The bench noted that “no Pakistani journalist or parliamentarian supports terrorists, no one obstructs state entities from operating legally.”
According to the Attorney General, the case will not be settled until it is settled politically. Justice Kayani remarked, “It means they accept it as a political issue, we don’t have to invite them from outside to decide the matter.” The Judge noted, “Mistakes used to happen and we have to move forward while learning from mistakes.”
Judge Kayani informed the AGP, “It is the 21st hearing, and several students have been recovered with your hard work.”
“Our economy has declined so much,” Attorney General Mansoor Awan remarked, implying that the state ought to have shown compassion.
Judge Kayani remarked, “How could the domestic or international investors will invest in these circumstances.”
AGP pleaded the court, “We have done much work in missing persons’ cases; remaining will also be completed; give us some time.” He continued, “Political solutions are also being sought.”
The attorney for the petitioner claimed that no information was given to the relatives of the missing people. Justice Kayani said, “Do you think the information given to the court has not been correct?”
The bench said, “The AGP’s efforts in this case are commendable; thanks to him, several missing persons have returned to their homes.”
“Courts will keep operating as long as matters involving missing persons are brought before them. Justice Kayani stated, “No one case will conclude with a court ruling.
The Attorney General announced that the topic of missing persons will be discussed during the upcoming two cabinet sessions. “For easy coordination, the committee should be composed of officers below the DIG level,” questioned AGP.
“I am delivering an order; observe it,” the bench informed Imaan Mazari and the AGP.
The case’s hearing was subsequently postponed by the court until June 14.
