Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, expressing concern over the worsening law and order situation in Balochistan, on January 9 observed that the number of missing persons in the province was increasing day by day, reported Daily Times. He said that uncertainty prevailed in the province as bullet-riddled bodies were found every day. The Chief Justice observed that the personnel of the Law Enforcement Agencies were also being targeted in such incidents. Justice Khilji Arif Hussain said that if the authorities had closed their eyes over the situation, then the court would be compelled to interfere in the matter. The court also inquired about the arrest of those persons, who were attacking the Hazara community. The court, adjourning the hearing of the case, sought a comprehensive report from the Balochistan Chief Secretary about worsening law and order until January 16. According to an earlier report submitted by the chief secretary, 181 bodies were recovered in three years.

The Supreme Court (SC) on April 5 ordered the Balochistan Police and Levies to investigate into dumping of bullet-riddled bodies in various parts of the province and compensates the aggrieved families, reports Daily Times. The Balochistan Inspector General of Police (IGP) was also ordered to take action or arrest the provincial ministers involved in kidnappings for ransom.

The bench also comprised Justice Khilji Arif Hussain and Justice Tariq Pervez.

The Supreme Court (SC) said on April 6 there was no difference between a human being and animals in Balochistan where mutilated bodies were found on a daily basis, reports Daily Times. “I think I should stay in Quetta for a month,” said Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, as a three-member SC bench resumed the hearing of a case concerning the poor security and human rights situation in Balochistan. Following the chief justice’s directive, Quetta Police produced four of seven ‘missing’ people of the Marri tribe in the court. The seven people were picked up during a raid in Quetta’s Sariab Mill area on March 1 and had been listed ‘missing’ since then. Police, who had earlier been declining having information about the missing persons, produced four of seven people. The four were Hazar Khan, Mazar Khan, Malik Sher and Javed Marri. Justice Chaudhry suspended New Sariab SHO Noor Baksh Mengal for his false statement about the missing persons and directed Police to arrest him. The Chief Justice said he would also suspend the Balochistan IGP if the remaining three missing persons were not produced before the court by April 9. Frontier Corps (FC) Inspector General Major General Ubaidullah Khan Khattak also appeared before the court and rejected charges against his force.

Justice (retired) Javed Iqbal, head of judicial commission formed for the recovery of missing persons, on June 9 held foreign intelligence agencies responsible for the deteriorating situation of Balochistan, claiming that there was concrete evidence against them, according to Daily Times. Justice Iqbal said that foreign intelligence agencies wanted to deteriorate the situation of Balochistan in order to de-stabilise Pakistan. About missing persons, Iqbal said that the Chief Minister of Balochistan had sent a list of 945 ‘missing’ persons to the commission, and added that the complete details of even 45 persons on the list had not been made available. “We sent the list back to the ministry for correction but it never came back,” he pointed out. The commission’s chief said that in the past week, 12 people who had been missing were recovered from Balochistan. He claimed that some of the missing persons were in Afghanistan and they could not be recovered because they were in US-controlled territory. He said that 42 bodies of missing persons were found in Balochistan. He also said that “there is a baseless propaganda about the actual figure of missing persons in the country.” He said that according to the commission, the total number of missing persons stood at 460, including 18 from Islamabad, 117 from Punjab, 174 from Sindh, 170 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 57 from Balochistan while 12 each from Azad Kashmir and Federally Administered Areas (FATA).

The Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry observed on July 31 that the worsening law and order in Balochistan could be restored in a week if the Frontier Corps (FC) so desired, reports Dawn. “It’s my belief that the situation can be cooled down and they (FC) can solve the problem in seven days,” said the Chief Justice who heads a Supreme Court bench hearing a petition on the law and order situation and human rights violations in the province. Otherwise, he cautioned, the situation might get out of hand. The chief justice made the observation when Advocate Raja Mohammad Irshad, representing (FC Director General Major General Obaidullah Khattak, said that although the FC was exercising restraint, there was a feeling that the agenda of “our enemies are being promoted”. “Who is promoting the agenda, you people are,” the Chief Justice retorted and asked the FC chief to realise the situation that was developing. “We want to avoid a situation like Lahore where a case has been registered against the ISI DG and the MI (Military Intelligence); that is why we are emphasising upon the FC to avoid getting the situation going out of hand,” the Chief Justice said. “It is high time when you should come forward and take the responsibility,” the Chief Justice said while pointing to the FC DG, adding that questions were being raised about sovereignty and security of the country. “It’s time when the hearts and minds of the people living in the neglected province should be won,” the court said.

The Supreme Court on October 10, during a hearing on the law and order situation in Balochistan, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, said the Government had done nothing for its improvement, reports Daily Times. Barrister Raja Salman told the court that the elements responsible for the bad law and order in the province had been named but no action was taken against them. Assisting lawyer of the court Qahir Shah informed it that Khuzdar District had been closed for a full month due to deteriorating law and order situation. Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry observed this was tantamount to rejection of implementation of constitution and asked Balochistan Inspector General of Police Tariq Umar Khatab if it was not so. Justice Jawad S Khawaja noted that the Supreme Court had held 70 hearings on the Balochistan situation and had issued order for the implementation of law and the constitution in the province, but despite assurances from the government in this regard nothing had been done. When Deputy Attorney General asked for more time in the case, the Chief Justice expressed deep anger and said, “Balochistan is not your priority. Allegations are levelled against the Government and the Frontier Corps (FC) but the Government is doing nothing.” He added, “We are responsible for the destruction of Balochistan ourselves.”

Submitting a review petition against the Supreme Court’s October 12, 2012 order in the Balochistan target killing case, the Federal Government stated, it appears that while passing the impugned order, the court was persuaded and inclined to revive the essence, letter and spirit of the 17th Amendment regarding the controversial powers of Article 58(2)(b), once available to the President of Pakistan, reports Daily Times. The Government further called the court order “very dangerous” for the country and believed it to be a licence or invitation to unseen avaricious forces. The court in its October 12 interim order stated, “Unfortunately in the instant case (Balochistan unrest case) the Federal Government, except deploying Frontier Corps (FC) troops, has also failed to protect province of Balochistan from internal disturbances. Similarly, as far as Provincial Government is concerned it had lost its constitutional authority to govern the province because of violation of fundamental rights of the people of Pakistan.” In the review petition, the Federal Government pointed out it is not the function of the superior courts of the country to gauge performance of a political Government, and the judges of the superior courts by virtue of their oath are under a constitutional obligation not to enter into political questions even if such questions involve questions of law. “Getting involved in political questions constitutes misconduct under Article 5 of the Code of Conduct of Superior Court Judges issued after the restoration of the present Chief Justice. As such the aforesaid findings of this court are without jurisdiction and the same need to be reviewed keeping in view the constitution, the law and principles of good conscience and fair play,” it added.
