Islamabad High Court on January 3 directed the Government to provide a bulletproof car to former Supreme Court (SC) Chief Justice (CJ) Iftikhar Chaudhry, saying even those who violated the Constitution were being given foolproof security, reports The Hindu. Justice Shoukat Siddiqui of the Islamabad High Court issued the directive while hearing a plea filed by former Rawalpindi High Court Bar Association president Sheikh Ahsanuddin for providing security to justice Chaudhry. During the hearing, Cabinet Division Joint Secretary Zia-ul-Haq told the judge that a bulletproof vehicle was given to justice Chaudhry but it was not functioning properly.

The judge expressed his displeasure at the non-provision of proper security to justice Chaudhry and ordered the city police chief to provide “proper security” to him and adjourned the matter till January 9.

A three-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Justice Jawwad S. Khawaja on January 23 suggested setting up of a fund for assisting the needy whose near and dear ones have gone missing and they appear in courts regularly to pursue their cases, reports Dawn. The bench floated the idea of creating the fund in a way of an endowment which should be kept with the office of the Attorney General of Pakistan. When needed, the court said, the fund should be used for subsistence of those who could not afford boarding and lodging in Islamabad. The suggestion came during the proceedings of a missing person’s case instituted on the application of one Saadia Bibi whose husband Khawar Mehmood went missing from Fort Abbas in Bahawalnagar District of Punjab on June 26, 2013. Ms Saadia, 21, pleaded that her husband was picked up by security personnel six or seven months after their marriage. Since then she is running from pillar to post to find the whereabouts of her spouse.

Islamabad Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC), hearing the case of seven men, including Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ‘commander’ Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, charged with involvement in the Mumbai attacks has adjourned the hearing till January 29, Times of India reported on January 24. According to court sources, a banker of Muslim Commercial Bank Gujranwala District, some 80 km from Lahore, testified in the Islamabad anti-terrorism court on January 22 declaring that one of the accused had made transactions. The defence lawyers questioned how could it be established that a certain amount of money transacted by the alleged accused was used for terror activities. The court adjourned the hearing till January 29 and issued summons for more private witnesses. Seven accused are facing trial in connection with the Mumbai attacks case. LeT ‘operations commander’ Zakiur Lakhvi, Abdul Wajid, Mazhar Iqbal, Sadiq, Shahid Jameel Riaz, Jamil Ahmed and Younas Anjum were arrested in 2009 for their alleged role in the attacks in which 166 people were killed and over 300 injured.

The Registrar Office of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on March 19 returned the petition of former President General (retired) Pervez Musharraf that he had filed before the court on March 18, 2014, seeking his trial in high treason case under Army Act, reports Dawn. The registrar office held that since the Special Court, seized with his high treason trial, has rejected the identical petition for transferring the high treason case to the military court therefore being the appellate forum such petition could only be filed in the Supreme Court. The three member bench of the Special Court headed by Justice Faisal Arab of Sindh High Court (SHC) had rejected the plea for transferring the high treason case to the military court on February 21, 2014. In its ruling, the Special Court said: “the offences under the High Treason (Punishment) Act, 1973 are exclusively triable by the Special Court established under the Criminal Law Amendment (Special Court) Act, 1976 as its Section 3 (2) ousts the jurisdiction of all other courts.”

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on March 25 summoned the Director General (DG) of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Lieutenant General Zaheerul Islam, in a missing person case, reports Dawn. Justice Riaz Ahmed Khan directed the ISI chief to appear before the court next week in response to a petition filed by Parveen Bibi, the spouse of Mohammad Arif, who went missing in February 2014.

Citing security reason, the Director General (DG) of the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) Lieutenant-General Zaheer-ul-Islam did not appear before the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on April 2 in a missing person case, reports Dawn. The IHC, however, disposed off the matter after the spy agency denied the custody of the missing man. Justice Riaz Ahmed Khan of the IHC on March 24, 2014 had directed the DG ISI, Zaheerul Islam, to personally appear before the court in a petition filed by Parveen Bibi, the spouse of Mohammad Arif, who was picked up from December 17, 2013 from Khushab District in Punjab Province. Before being picked up, Mohammad Arif, a former activist of Jama’at-e-Islami (JeI), was running a printing press and private schools in Rawalpindi District. However, DG ISI, in an affidavit submitted to the IHC, denied the custody of the missing men. Additional Attorney General (AAG) Tariq Mehmood Khokar submitted an application on behalf of the ISI seeking exemption of the DG from appearance. In the application the spy agency contended: “For operational security and secrecy reasons his (DG ISI) whereabouts are kept classified.” The application also stated that the “DG ISI is not in Islamabad on the date fixed for the hearing of the matter. It further said that the DG of the spy agency was not “the relevant officer in the matter in question”. Justice Khan expressed annoyance over the lethargy of the spy agency in dealing with the court. He said: “It was not our desire to summon the DG ISI but the conduct of the dealing officials was tantamount to making a mockery of the courts.” “A person files the petition for the recovery of his relative and the dealing official instead of submitting report suggests the court for adjourning the proceedings for 6 weeks” he said. “It was an insult for the judiciary” he added. However, Colonel Fayyaz, Deputy Director Legal of the ISI tendered an apology before the court.

The two judge bench in the Supreme Court, headed by Justice Nasirul Mulk, during the hearing of the Balochistan target killing case on April 15 directed the Defence Ministry to submit a report on the steps taken by military authorities for the trial of army officials involved in the Baloch ‘missing’ persons’ cases, reports The Express Tribune. It asked the Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Sajid Bhatti whether the Army has started any proceedings against the officials allegedly involved in enforced disappearances. Bhatti submitted that they have not received any kind of information from the Defence Ministry in this regard. According to details, the Balochistan Government has agreed to refer 14 ‘missing’ persons’ cases to the Army for the trial of Frontier Corps and Intelligence Agency officials under the Army Act. Advocate General of Balochistan Nazimuddin Baloch submitted a report on behalf of the Chief Secretary of the province Babar Yaqoob Fateh Muhammad regarding the ‘missing’ persons’ issue. The detailed report suggests that as regards the prosecution of army officers, the Provincial Government suggests that the officers be tried under Pakistan Army Act.

In the case of 35 persons, who went missing from Army’s internment centre in Malakand Fort of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Federal Government on April 16 submitted a statement in the Supreme Court suggesting that the main accused, a junior Army officer, identified as Naib Subedar Amanullah Baig, would be court martialed under the Pakistan Army Act (PAA) 1952, reports Dawn. Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Waqas Dar submitted a one-page statement on behalf of the Defence Ministry, informing the court that the main accused was a serving member of the Armed forces and subject to punishment under the PAA. In accordance with the court’s directions, the statement explained, the Malakand District Coordination Officer (DCO) was approached to settle the criminal case against the soldier, registered at the Malakand Levy Post. Jurisdiction over the accused was then shifted to army authorities for investigation and trial under the Army Act. Justice Khawaja observed, “This amounts to closing the case”. “Could Amanullah move the missing persons from the internment centre without approval,” he asked, adding that the court had heard a similar case of one Tasif Ali alias Danish. There, the judge said, it was held that civilian authorities have a right to investigate the matter once an FIR is registered. Justice Khawaja said the court would seek assistance from Attorney General Salman Aslam Butt in deciding the matter and adjourned the case to next week.

The petition for Abbasi’s recovery alleged that certain officials from secret agencies picked him up from Rawat while he was on way home. “His cell phone was last traced to Sihala,” said Abdul Rehman, the petitioner and Iqrar’s elder brother. Sihala is a heavily Policed area which also houses a Police training college. According to the petition, Iqrar has been kept somewhere in the jurisdiction of Sihala Police Station. The petitioner said a First Information Report (FIR) in this regard had been lodged with the Police Station but his whereabouts were still not known. The petition requested the court to direct the respondents, Interior and Defence Secretaries and Inspector General (IG) Islamabad Police, to produce Iqrar Abbasi before the Court and subsequently order them to release him from unlawful custody.

A non-bailable warrant for the arrest of Lal Masjid cleric Maulana Abdul Aziz was issued by Senior Civil Judge Saqib Jawad while hearing a case filed by civil society members in Islamabad on December 26, reports The News. During the hearing, the investigation officer of the case requested the court to issue an arrest warrant for Maulana Abdul Aziz for investigation, based on a First Information Report (FIR) that was previously registered against him at the Aabpara Police Station. Judge Saqib accepted the investigation officer’s request and an arrest warrant was issued, which will be followed by the Police taking legal procedures to arrest Aziz for further investigation. The Station House Officer (SHO) of Aabpara Police Station, Khalid Awan, said that the non-bailable arrest warrant for Maulana Aziz had been received. Meanwhile, Police Officers on December 26 said that they were finding it hard to implement the orders in the case of Abdul Aziz, and feared that his detention under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) may create a law and order situation, reported Dawn. The cleric has already threatened to launch a countrywide protest if he is arrested. If the cleric voluntarily becomes part of the investigation, Police cannot execute the arrest, officials said, adding that even in that case, he would be bound to prove his innocence and was liable to arrest if he failed to do that. An unnamed senior Police Officer said that after Police obtained the arrest warrants, they approached Abdul Aziz, who acceded to their request to join the investigation. However, the officer said that Aziz had denied the allegations leveled against him, insisting that he was not physically present at the Lal Masjid on the day the complainants claimed they were threatened.

Islamabad High Court (IHC) on December 26 issued notices to the Government as Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the alleged mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks (also known as 26/11) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) 'commander', challenged his detention orders, reports The Express Tribune. On December 19, 2014, authorities had detained Lakhvi under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order (3MPO) in Adiala jail of Rawalpindi District in Punjab Province for 30 days, shortly after he was granted bail by an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC). Justice Noorul Haq N Qureshi issued notice to the federation and directed it to file a reply by December 29, 2014. Lakhvi, through his counsel Raja Rizwan Abbasi, had challenged his detention orders, contending that they are ‘illegal’. He argued that the ATC had granted his client bail, but the Government had flouted the ATC’s orders by not releasing his client. He requested the court to annul the detention orders. Meanwhile, the ATC Islamabad stated in its written order on December 26 that legal loopholes in the Mumbai attacks case led to the grant of bail to Lakhvi, reports Dawn. The order added that weak evidence, the registration of the First Information Report (FIR) invoking irrelevant sections against the suspect, the ‘never-ending’ trial and hearsay evidence went in favour of the accused. Lakhvi was arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in February 2009 on the basis of the confessional statement of the lone surviving attacker Ajmal Kasab and detained at the Adiala Jail.

Justice Noorul Haq N. Qureshi of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on December 29 passed an interim order suspending the detention orders of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LT) 'chief' Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, the mastermind of November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) attacks in Mumbai, reports The News. The bench allowed Lakhvi’s conditional release with directions that he deposit PKR1 million bail bonds with the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) and ensure his presence on every hearing. The bench directed the standing counsel representing the federation to submit a detailed reply on Lakhvi’s petition against detention before January 15, 2015. Lakhvi’s legal counsel Raja Rizwan Abbasi said the detention of his client was unlawful. The judge observed that “the standing counsel seeks time to reply to the allegations leveled by the petitioner (Lakhvi) as he is not in a position to assist the court properly therefore I have been left with no option but to suspend the detention order of December 18, 2014.”
