The seven missing detainees out of the 11 prisoners who went missing from outside Rawalpindi’s Adilyala Jail in May 2010 were brought to the Supreme Court on February 13, reports Dawn. The prisoners produced in the court were Mazhar-ur-Haq, Shafiq-ur-Rehman, Muhammad Shafiq, Dr Niaz Ahmed, Abdul Majeed, Gulroze and Abdul Basit. Four of them were brought from Peshawar’s Lady Reading Hospital and three from the Internment Centre at Parachinar in Kurram Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). On January 6, 2011, the Supreme Court had disposed of a joint petition on the assurance that the prisoners would face the Field General Court Martial (FGCM) under the Army Act, 1952. But none of them was ever tried. The prisoners were wanted for different acts of terrorism. One thing was common among all. They are suffering from a common ailment of skin with the entire body covered with small blisters. Almost all of them said they had no idea why they had been picked and never interrogated. The Chairperson of Defense for Human Rights Amina Masood Janjua had for long campaigned for the release of missing persons.

The Supreme Court hearing a plea for registration of a second FIR in the Benazir Bhutto assassination case ordered on March 5 that a summons be pasted on the wall of former President General (retd) Pervez Musharraf’s residence in Islamabad, reports Dawn.

Hearing the case, Justice Chaudhry censured the Federal Government and Security Agencies over their lack of progress and the Provincial Government’s apparent helplessness. “It has been observed that the Federal Government is not cooperating for the recovery of ‘missing persons’, while the Provincial Government appears to be helpless,” he said, adding, “Where are the missing persons? Has the earth or the sky swallowed them up?” “Balochistan is burning, while the Chief Minister along with his Cabinet members is busy attending luncheons in Islamabad,” Justice Chaudhry said. “People are being subjected to enforced disappearances; mutilated bodies are found dumped; targeted killings are multiplying and incidents of kidnapping-for-ransom are also increasing,” he added.

Chaudhry, however, said the situation in Balochistan is not as bad as is being portrayed outside the Province. He expressed this during a meeting with the Supreme Court Bar Association’s Executive Committee, including SCBA President Yasin Azad, who called on him at the Supreme Court Quetta Registry. The CJP said it was not completely true that no one was safe in Balochistan as all office-bearers met their relatives, friends and lawyers in Quetta, which shows the situation was not bad enough that people could not move freely. He hoped the suo motu action would bear fruit and help restore law and order in Balochistan.

Further, the bench expressed strong resentment when informed that Home Minister Zehri did not disclose the names of ministers allegedly involved in kidnappings for ransom. “We can take action against the home minister in accordance with law if he was lying earlier,” remarked Justice Khilji Arif Hussain.

The Supreme Court on May 14 said that there existed evidence that the Frontier Corps (FC) were involved in abducting people in Balochistan, reports Daily Times. A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, and comprising Justice Jawwad S Khawaja and Justice Khilji Arif Hussain, hearing Balochistan target killings’ case, told the FC Inspector General (IG) that respect for the force was waning gradually, as 95 percent of the people in Balochistan had alleged that FC was involved in the picking up of civilians in the province. The Chief Justice said that missing persons are the key issue of the province, and the court cannot shut its eyes to it since there was evidence suggesting FC involvement.

The chief justice told the Prime Minister’s principal secretary if the PM does not want implementation of the Supreme Court’s orders, other options, including emergency, were available in the constitution. Quoting former Balochistan Advocate General Salauddin Mengal, the Chief Justice said the law and order situation was so grave in the province that not a single Pakistani flag could be seen even 10 miles outside Quetta. He said the constitution should be implemented lest the army imposes martial law, and observed that the prime minister should take steps keeping in view the sensitivity of the situation.

Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry on July 13 ordered a paramilitary commander to produce 30 people in court, saying there was evidence troops were involved in their disappearance, reports Dawn. Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry ordered Balochistan Frontier Corps commander Major General Obaidullah Khattak to produce the missing before the court in the provincial capital Quetta on July 24. The 30 people were allegedly abducted in Tutak area of Khuzdar District in February 2011. “It is his (Khattak’s) duty to comply with the court orders and affect the recovery of missing persons and produce them,” Chaudhry said. He rejected the commander’s denial of responsibility as “unacceptable… in the wake of evidence against the force in picking up missing persons”.

The Government may not have been willing to produce evidence of the existence of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)’s notorious political cell, but the Supreme Court still declared on July 16 that the cell, if it did, or does, exist, was illegal, reports The Express Tribune. The Supreme Court adjudged the political cell ‘void ab initio’ – that is, null and void from the start. If nothing else, the move is heavily symbolic – particularly with general elections around the corner. The decision was taken in a petition dealing with the ISI’s direct manipulation of the 1990 general elections – a petition commonly referred to as the Asghar Khan petition. Despite repeated orders by the court during past hearings in the case, the Attorney General failed to produce the notification under which the political wing of the ISI was allegedly established in May 1975. During July 16’s proceedings, the court had once again asked the attorney general for the notification. On another failure to produce it, a three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, took its own action.

Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on September 3 questioned the Balochistan Government’s decision to give Police powers to Frontier Corps (FC) in Quetta, asking why the FC had been delegated policing powers when various allegations already existed against it, reports Pakistan Today. Hearing the Balochistan law and order case at Supreme Court’s Quetta Registry with Justice Khilji Arif Hussain and Justice Jawwad S Khwaja, the Chief Justice wondered what the Police had been doing all this time for restoring order in the province. Hearing the petition filed by the Balochistan High Court Bar Association, the Chief Justice said smuggled cars were being used across Balochistan and people were openly carrying and displaying arms. He said the authorities concerned were not taking any serious action and were involved in mere lip service, adding that deteriorating law and order had forced people to move to Punjab, Sindh and other areas of the country. Further, the Supreme Court asked Inspector General (IG) of Balochistan Tariq Omar Khitab to submit a list of people who lost their lives in targeted attacks in the province during the last six months, reports The Express Tribune. Khitab maintained the Police were short-staffed with at least 58 posts lying vacant in the province.

Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on September 5 said the recovery of missing persons remained the top priority for the Supreme Court, adding that the Security Forces had failed to restore peace and order in Balochistan, reports Pakistan Today. Hearing the Balochistan unrest case at the Supreme Court’s Quetta Registry, Chief Justice Chaudhry said the court knew what law had to do. He expressed his anguish over the attitude of the defense and federal secretaries who did not appear before the court. “It appears from the secretaries’ attitude that they have no interest in Balochistan,” he said. Frontier Corps Inspector General Obaidullah Khattak acknowledged that the performance of law enforcement agencies in recovering missing persons was unsatisfactory. Reprimanding the FC IG, the chief justice said the province’s security situation was deteriorating by the day and judges, uniformed coast guards and members of the Shia community were being targeted and killed at will. Khattak said the court should consider the FC’s actions in the region and make a note of the sacrifices rendered by its members. “You have failed. We know what the law has to do. Give us in writing if you can’t do anything,” Justice Chaudhry said. “Who will provide relief to the people? The United Nations has taken a notice of Shia killings. Shia-Sunni killing is bringing a bad name to the country.”

The Supreme Court on September 24 clubbed a set of identical petitions challenging the promulgation of Action in Aid of Civil Power Regulations-2011 and Section 2(1d) of the Army Act-1952, ordering its office to issue notices to the respondents, including Intelligence Agencies namely the Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI), reports Dawn. The Action in Aid of Civil Power Regulations-2011 allows the civil Government to confine persons accused of terrorism in internment centres in Parachinar in Kurram Agency. Section 2(1d) of the Army Act-1,952 allows arrest of civilians on terrorism charges. A three-judge bench, comprising Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, Justice Jawwad S. Khawaja and Justice Khilji Arif Hussain, had taken up the petitions moved by Professor Mohammad Ibrahim of Jama’at-e-Islami (JeI), Sher Mohammad, President of the Swat Bar Association and Advocate Tariq Asad. The court allowed Asad to re-submit his petition in a week after making required amendments because his client Ruhaifa, mother of Abdul Majid and Abdul Basit who had been detained in the internment centre, had died. The two brothers were among the 11 prisoners who went missing from the gate of Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail on May 29, 2010 after they had been acquitted of terrorism charges pertaining to their alleged involvement in the audacious October 2009 attacks on GHQ and ISI’s Hamza Camp in Rawalpindi.

After having remained silent during three years of self-imposed exile, President of the Balochistan National Party (BNP) and Balochistan’s former Chief Minister Sardar Akhtar Jan Mengal spoke in the Supreme Court on September 27 and described enforced disappearances as the real cause of the current unrest in Balochistan, reports Dawn. “Why should not we divorce peacefully rather than seeking for a bloody divorce if the rulers have decided to keep on giving us mutilated dead bodies,” Sardar Mengal said. The bench comprising Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, Justice Jawwad S. Khawaja and Justice Khilji Arif Hussain had taken up a petition of former President of the Balochistan High Court Bar Association Hadi Shakeel on the law and order situation, target killings, kidnappings for ransom and missing persons in the province. The court indicated to close the present proceedings and issue a binding injunction asking a responsible senior officer to recover all missing persons. Sardar Mengal also presented a six-point charter and said it was imperative for the Government to take practical steps to implement the measures to create an appropriate atmosphere for Baloch reconciliation process and initiate a meaningful process of conflict resolution. According to the charter, all covert and overt military operations against Baloch people should be ended immediately; all missing persons should be procured before a court of law; all proxy “death squads” operating in a manner like Al Shams and Al Badar operated (in Bangladesh) allegedly under the supervision of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI) should be disbanded; Baloch political parties should be allowed to function and resume their political activities without any interference from intelligence agencies; persons responsible for inhuman torture, killing and dumping of bodies of Baloch political leaders and activists should be brought to justice; and measures should be initiated for rehabilitation of thousands of displaced Baloch living in appalling condition.

A division bench of the Islamabad High Court resumed hearing two petitions on October 12 filed by authorities to seek permission to obtain voice samples of seven suspects charged with involvement in November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) terror attacks and to declare Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant Ajmal Kasab a proclaimed offender or fugitive. One petition asked the court to direct authorities to obtain the voice samples of the seven Pakistani suspects, including LeT ‘commander’ Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, so that they could be compared with samples provided by India of communications between the attackers and their Pakistan-based handlers. The other petition asks the court to declare Kasab a fugitive in order to complete certain legal requirements that will help speed up the trial of the seven suspects by a Rawalpindi (Punjab)-based anti-terrorism court.
