The Supreme Court on March 13 observed that the Punjab Police failed to protect the lives and properties of the inhabitants of Joseph Colony in Lahore, the capital city of Punjab, reports The News. Hearing the suo moto case of the burning of Christian houses at Joseph Colony in Badami Bagh area of Lahore, the court in its interim order ruled that Inspector General Police Punjab had failed in providing security to 220 homes. The court has sought answers to the questions as to what steps have been taken to stop such attacks in the future, why residents were displaced and why they were not provided security. The court observed that unless and until true facts are produced, it would not be possible either for Police and law-enforcing agencies to nab the culprits involved in the incident.

The Lahore High Court has been told by a senior law officer not to rule in favour of giving official legal assistance to Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed in a case filed against him in the United States (US), as doing so would strengthen the hand of the Indian Government, reports Zee News. Amicus Curie of the high court Advocate Ahmer Bilal Soofi argued that the state could interfere only when a citizen is arrested in a foreign country. He informed the High Court that India had filed a lawsuit in a U.S. court to establish Pakistan's link with Al Qaeda, and therefore, warned that providing legal assistance to Hafiz Saeed at the Government level would strengthen New Delhi's allegations of Pakistan being a state sponsor of terrorism.

Chief Justice of Lahore High Court (LHC), Umar Ata Bandial on May 27 deferred the hearing of a petition moved by Jamat-ud-Dawa (JuD) ‘chief’, Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, till September 24, seeking direction from the Federal Government over the issue of defending the JuD ‘chief’ before a United State (US) Court, which issued summons to him, former ISI chiefs and other officials on a law suit filed by relatives of US nationals killed in Mumbai attacks (26/11), reports Daly Times. A Deputy Attorney General (DAG) informed that US and justice departments had already challenged the jurisdiction of their court for issuing summons to ISI chief and other officials. He requested that the court should wait for the decision to this effect. Hafiz Saeed counsel AK Dogar had submitted that American national Rabbi Gavriel Noah Holtzberg and his wife Rivka were shot dead by militants at the Chhabad House in Mumbai. The victims’ son Moshe was saved and he along with others had filed nine claims against banned outfit Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) stating Hafiz Saeed as its head, Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, Azam Cheema and Sajid Majid as well as the former heads of Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) Lt Gen Nadeem Taj and Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha as well as ISI’s Major Iqbal and Major Samir Ali. He submitted that the complainant accused these Pakistanis of providing material support for the 26/11 attacks. For each of the claims, the plaintiffs have asked for damages in excess of $75,000, to be awarded by a jury. Counsel submitted that Hafiz Saeed is head of JuD, a charitable organisation and has no nexus with LeT. He said Government had detained the petitioner in 2009 and a full bench of LHC ordered to release him, holding that there is no evidence that Saeed had any links with Al-Qaeda or any terrorist movement, which could endanger the security of Pakistan. He said that there is no evidence to suggest that Saeed is involved in anti-state activities. He said on December 16, 2013 the petitioner was served with summons from United States District court in connection with the Mumbai attacks.

A Judicial Commission probing the brutal murder in a jail attack on Indian national Sarabjit Singh in KotLakhpat jail has so far recorded the statements of 38 witnesses, The Times of India reported on June 20. The Inspector General of Prisons of Punjab province and the Superintendent of Kot Lakhpat jail among others have testified before the Lahore High Court. As reported earlier, India wants Pakistan to hold a high-level investigation into the allegations that the jail attack was planned in advance by some Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) linked elements to avenge the hanging of LeT’s Ajmal Kasab and Jaish-e-Mohammad’s (JeM’s) Afzal Guru by the Indian government.

Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial on October 1 constituted a division bench to hear an appeal of Punjab Prosecution Department seeking cancellation of bail granted to Zubair alias Nek Muhammad, an accused of attack on Sri Lankan cricket team in March 2009, reports Daily Times. The bench consists of Justice Shahid Hameed Dar and Justice Muhammad Yawar Ali. The Prosecution Department had filed the appeal, submitting that a trail court granted the bail to the accused despite presence of evidence and witnesses against him. The prosecution submitted that the trail court had overlooked the facts and evidence and ordered to release the accused. The court was requested to set aside the decision of ATC and order Police to arrest the accused again. The court directed the police to produce the accused before the court on October 10, 2013 which is the next date of hearing. A LHC review board also turned down the Punjab Government’s request to extend detention of Zubair. A representative of the Home Department, Prosecution Department and Inspector General of Punjab Police (IG) appeared before the board and requested it to extend detention of the accused. The IGP requested the court to extend the detention for two more months. He submitted that Zubair was mastermind of the attack and his release could be dangerous for peace in society.

A member of the Lahore High Court (LHC) Bar Association on October 22 filed a petition asking the LHC to direct the Federal Government to hold talks with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and let them open an office, reports The Express Tribune. The petitioner, Advocate Kashif Mehmood Solomani, named the Federation of Pakistan, the Interior Ministry, the Defence Ministry and the Finance Ministry as respondents. He submitted that military action against the TTP was damaging the peace efforts and the respondents should be directed to negotiate peace with the militant group. He said that since becoming a major United States (US) ally in the ‘war against terror’ following the attacks of September 11, 2001, Pakistan had suffered a loss of USD100 billion (PKR10.63 trillion) to the economy. Economic growth, tax collection and foreign investment had declined. Western governments had advised their citizens against travelling to Pakistan, affecting foreign investment further. Pakistan continued to pay a heavy price in economic and security terms, as a large proportion of its human and material resources were being consumed by the war, he said. The petitioner said that allowing the TTP to open an office would facilitate the dialogue process. He noted that the United Nations (UN) charter stated that no sanctions could be imposed on Pakistan for holding talks with the militants.

A Lahore High Court (LHC) division bench comprising of Justice Anwarul Haq and Justice Abdul Sattar Asghar on October 28 dismissed the bail application of Zubair alias Nek Muhammad, who has been accused of attacking the Sri Lankan cricket team on March 3, 2009, reported The Express Tribune. He had been granted bail earlier by Anti-Terrorism Court. The bench remarked that the bail granted earlier by the trial court was not ‘justified’. The court dismissed his bail on the request of the Government which had challenged his bail before the Lahore High Court. A deputy prosecutor general said Nek Muhammad had a key role in the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team. He asked the court to cancel the bail granted to the alleged terrorist who is in detention under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO).

Justice Mahmood Maqbool Bajwa of the LHC on October 28 refused to hear the bail plea of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi leader Malik Ishaq and referred the matter to the Chief Justice with the recommendation that a division bench be set up to hear the matter, reports The Express Tribune. The judge observed that the plea should be heard by a two-member bench since the First Information Reports (FIRs) registered against the petitioner contained sections of the Anti Terrorism Act. According to the FIRs, Ishaq delivered hate speeches at public gatherings on August 8, 2012, and February 2, 2013, that spread hatred against Shias and created unrest in the area.

The LHC on October 28 sought a reply from the Federal Government to an appeal by two men convicted of spying for India for their prison term to be reduced for the time they had been detained before being sentenced, as per Section 382-B of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), reported The Express Tribune. A military court had convicted Muhammad Afzal and Muhammad Islam of spying for India and sentenced them to four years in prison each. According to Section 382-B of the CrPC, “The length of any sentence of imprisonment imposed upon an accused person in respect of any offence shall be treated as reduced by any period during which he was detained in custody for such offence.” Justice Ayesha A Malik directed a Deputy Attorney General to submit the Government’s reply by the second week of November, when the hearing will resume.

A law officer of the Interior Ministry on December 17 told the Lahore High Court (LHC) that the six Pakistani citizens repatriated from Bagram prison in Afghanistan were being interrogated by an investigation team, reports The Express Tribune. The ministry official claimed that the repatriated prisoners were being kept at a safe location in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). He said on arrival, their medical examination had been conducted. The counsel said the prisoners would be produced before the court after interrogation was completed. The court adjourned the hearing of the case till January 24, 2014 and directed the petitioner’s counsel to file a rejoinder. On a previous hearing, the petitioner’s counsel had stated that the prisoners were being humiliated and kept in unhygienic conditions. Justice Project Pakistan, a non-profit law firm, had filed the petition for the release and return of 25 Pakistani citizens detained at the Bagram jail by the United States (US). It said Pakistani citizens had been detained at Bagram jail without any charge or trial since 2003.

Lahore High Court (LHC) on December 20 restrained Pakistan's federal film censor board from issuing certificates for the exhibition of Indian films in the country, reports The Times of India. During the hearing, Pakistan Film Workers Association stated that the censor board was playing a key role in illegal exhibition of Indian movies in the country. "According to law, no movie can be exhibited in Pakistan if it has been produced in India," members of the Association said. While barring the censor board from exhibiting India movies, the court also summoned reply from the board and Federal Government. "Until further notice, the censor board in Pakistan should stop issuing certificates which permit the exhibition of Indian films in the country," the order issued by LHC judge Justice Khalid Mahmood Khan said.
