the Supreme Court ordered the Defence Secretary on January 12 to verify claims made by military authorities while branding a Swat resident a terrorist. A four-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry had taken up a petition of Abdul Ghaffar Khan seeking to reclaim his ancestral farmland and gardens he had left behind while leaving as an internally displaced person when the Operation Rah-e-Rast (Path to Truth) was launched by SFs against militants in Swat. The petitioner said he owned 500 kanals of agricultural land and gardens in the revenue estate of Kota in Barikot tehsil (revenue unit). The Supreme Court issued the directive to the Defence Secretary after District Officer Revenue submitted a report denying that military authorities had occupied the land, but asserting that the petitioner and his son were terrorists. The next date of hearing is January 23. Advocate Sanaullah Zahid, the counsel of the petitioner, rejected the allegations that his client was a terrorist and said he was a patriotic Pakistani and even last month some of his property had been auctioned.

Intelligence agencies and Security Forces (SFs) on January 18 denied the custody of Mohammad Hasnain, a missing official of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Communication and Works (C&W) Department, reports Dawn.

Bitterly disappointed with Agencies over the non-production of seven suspects who had been taken into custody by Intelligence Agencies for their alleged involvement in several cases of terrorism, the Supreme Court ordered the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Military Intelligence (MI), Judge Advocate General (JAG) Branch and the Chief Secretary of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on February 10 to ensure presence of these prisoners by February 13, 2012, reports Dawn.

The Peshawar High Court (PHC) ruled on February 17 that target killings and street crimes were on the rise due to the Government’s issuance of arms licenses on political grounds, reported The News. It directed the Federal Interior Secretary and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Home Secretary to present a report about the licenses issued thus far. PHC Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan issued the directives to the secretaries concerned in bail petitions of three persons arrested for having a large cache of arms in the city. The Chief Justice observed that there were no strict laws on arms and this was the reason that people have all kinds of arms and criminals use them easily for crimes. “The Government is not interested in maintaining law and order. It is only interested in issuing arms’ licenses to their own political workers,” he observed. Jehanzeb, Gulab Sher and Olas Khan had filed bail petitions in the PHC. Matani Police arrested them on January 17, 2010 for possessing six Kalashnikov rifles, 13 repeaters, two Kalakov rifles and thousands of rounds. Police then booked them under sections 13 and 14 of the Arms Ordinance.

The Peshawar High Court on April 10 directed the local Police to close down three illegal detention centres, which were run by a former Station House Officer (SHO) of Hayatabad Police Station in his area, reports Dawn. A bench comprising Chief Justice Dost Mohammad Khan and Justice Mian Fasihul Mulk pointed out that a recent inquiry conducted by the Police high-ups on the order of the high court proved that SHO Rajab Ali had been running three illegal detention centres in Hayatabad, Peshawar. The bench directed the Police to hand over the three premises to their owners and provide their details to the court so that they could be asked not to rent out their premises in future for such illegal purposes. On the court order, a senior investigation officer of National Accountability Bureau Col (retired) Hussain Ali appeared and told the court that he had constituted a team for probing the allegations against the SHO of amassing wealth by indulging in illegal activities. The bench observed that so far three inquiries had been conducted against Mr Ali and all the three showed that he was involved in illegal activities. The SHO had already been transferred to police lines. Further, Peshawar High Court directed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Police Officer to conduct an inquiry as to why police were extending illegal cooperation and help to those agencies which were not authorised under the law and constitution to pick up citizens. In addition, Peshawar High Court directed the quarters concerned to expedite the process of enlisting the [low profile] category B and C militants after the bench was requested to allow some time for the completion of the list. Earlier, the court had issued directives that militants of the category B and C be identified and set free on strong surety bonds.

The Peshawar High Court (PHC) on April 11 summoned the Federal Ministers and Secretaries of Defence, Interior and Law in cases of missing persons, asking them to explain why they had been defending illegal and unconstitutional acts of the intelligence agencies, reports Dawn. A bench comprising Chief Justice Dost Mohammad Khan and Justice Mian Fasihul Mulk also put on notice the Attorney General for Pakistan and the judge Advocate General of Pakistan Army, directing them to appear and assist the court on the point under what authority of law these agencies had been keeping persons in illegal detention. The bench observed that in all the habeas corpus petitions in the High Court allegations were leveled against the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Military Intelligence (MI), Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and sector commanders of the Intelligence Agencies. It added that it was often alleged that these agencies picked persons from houses without search warrant, detained them in illegal detention centres and tortured them. The chief justice observed that keeping in view the provisions of the constitution regarding fundamental rights, the Government, particularly the Ministries of Defence and Interior, were not supposed to defend illegal acts of these agencies. “The matter is very serious not only for the courts, but also for civil society which raised voice against it and it may result in any ugly situation like public versus the army and would be dangerous for both the state and army,” the bench observed, adding that it was appropriate that the ministers and secretaries of defence, interior, law should appear in person and explain their positions.

A Peshawar local judicial magistrate on June 5 granted bail to three Pakistani staffers of the US Consulate, including two drivers and a security guard, charged with transportation of unlicensed automatic weapons in two diplomatic vehicles, reports Dawn. He, however, linked their release with the furnishing of two sureties of PKR 100,000 each. While driver Ahsanullah and guard Manzoor Ellahi were freed, driver Asif Khan was sent to jail as his surety bonds were rejected as the national identity card of one of his two guarantors was expired. Police on June 4 detained two diplomatic vehicles boarded by the three suspects along with three foreign staffers of the US Consulate near a toll plaza on Peshawar-Islamabad Motorway. Police objected to the presence of unlicensed arms in the vehicles.

The Ministry of Defence through an affidavit submitted in the Peshawar High Court (PHC) claimed on June 20 that neither the Federal Government nor the top brass of the Armed Forces had inked any secret agreement with the United States (US) to allow drones attacks in the tribal areas, reports The News. Deputy Attorney General (DAG), Muhammad Iqbal Mohmand submitted the written reply of the Ministry of Defence in the division bench comprising Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan and Justice Waqar Ahmad Seth. During the previous hearing the bench had directed the DAG to explain whether they had allowed the US to carry out drone attacks in the country’s tribal areas. The DAG told the bench there was no secret deal between the Federal Government and US and this was the reason it had opposed the drone strikes, taken up the matter with the US Government and passed resolution in the National Assembly against these attacks. He argued that the drone strikes in the tribal areas were in violation of the country’s sovereignty and international conventions and the Government was even ready to pursue the case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ). To a query, he said the US started the drone strikes during former president Pervez Musharraf’s rule and the court should summon him and ask about any verbal or written deal on drone strikes with the US. The court had already made Musharraf a party in the petitions filed against the drone strikes and given 15 days to his lawyer Mauzzam Butt to get power of attorney from him to submit his written reply about the drone strikes.

A Peshawar High Court bench on September 19 directed the Federal Government not to allow Afghan refugees to stay in the country beyond December 31, 2012, reports Dawn. During a hearing into a case against denial of promotion to Commissionerate of Afghan Refugees employee Jawed Shah, Chief Justice Dost Mohammad Khan and Justice Irshad Qaiser observed that Pakistan had an agreement with Afghanistan and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to shelter Afghan refugees on its soil and the court didn’t want to interfere with it but wanted the Government not to extend it beyond December 31. They observed that the law and order situation in Pakistan was not encouraging and therefore, there was no ground available for further stay of refugees in the country. It added that Afghans sheltering in the country were no longer refugees as their country had a proper Government and security apparatus in place and that they had been staying here for economic consideration.
