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.

A Pakistani anti-terrorism court conducting the trial of seven men charged with involvement in the 26/ 11 Mumbai attacks on April 6, issued summons to a senior investigator even as six prosecution witnesses failed to appear before the judge, reports Zee News. Judge Chaudhry Habib-ur-Rehman, who is conducting the trial behind closed doors at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi of Punjab province for security reasons, issued the summons for Altaf Hussain, a Karachi-based Additional Director of the Federal Investigation Agency. Prosecutors described Hussain as an "important witness" in the case against the seven accused, including Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi. He was directed to appear in court at the next hearing on April 13, 2013. At the last hearing on March 30 2013, the court had issued summons to the six private witnesses for selling a boat, an engine and other related equipment to the accused. The Pakistani judicial commission's visit to India has already been delayed by several weeks over the issue of Islamabad (Federal Capital of Pakistan) seeking an assurance that members of the panel will be allowed to cross-examine witnesses. The commission is set to make a second visit to Mumbai to record the statements of the witnesses because the anti-terrorism court had rejected a report submitted after its first visit on the ground that the panel was not allowed to conduct cross-examination.

An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Rawalpindi sent him to a two-week judicial remand in the Benazir Bhutto assassination case. The court fixed the next date of hearing on May 14, three days after the polls. Bhutto was killed in a deadly bomb and gun attack in December 2007 after addressing an election rally in Rawalpindi's Liaquat Bagh. The court had framed charges against Musharraf in the case in February 2011, and in August that year he was declared a proclaimed offender. The ex-army chief, already in judicial custody in the judges' detention case after imposing emergency in November 2007, was not produced in the court for security reasons. The court gave permission to the Balochistan Police to question Musharraf in the case relating to the killing of Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti. Bugti was killed in a military offensive in the mountainous Dera Bugti region in southwest in August 2006 when Musharraf was President and Army chief.

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.

The Supreme Court was told on July 9 that the Punjab Government had decided to initiate legal proceedings against Army officers, including an Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) brigadier, in the missing persons’ case, reports Daily Times. During the hearing of the missing persons’ case, Punjab Additional Advocate General (AAG) Faisal Malik told the three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Jawwad S Khawaja, that there is no need for further investigation in this matter and the Provincial Government has decided to submit challan against the nominated persons in the light of statements of Dr Imran Munir and former Rawalpindi CPO Rao Iqbal. Upon this, Justice Ejaz Ahmad asked who would be tried and whether anyone was nominated in the challan. The AAG replied that according to Imran Munir’s statement, which he had given before a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) on December 5, 2009, he had seen missing person Masood Janjua in Westridge area of Rawalpindi, while he was illegally in the custody of ISI’s Brigadier Mansoor Saeed Sheikh during the period from July 28, 2006 and second week of March 2007.

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.

Pakistani prosecutors on December 5 sought contempt proceedings against the lawyer of the seven accused charged with involvement in the Mumbai 2008 terror (also known 26/11) attacks for claiming that the evidence in the case was a ‘sham’, reports Niticentral.com. “We have prayed for contempt proceedings against the defence counsel as he violated the court’s order by holding a Press conference,” Special Public Prosecutor Chaudhry Mohammed Azhar said. “They (defence lawyers) had themselves sought an in-camera trial in the case and they violated this,” he added. The prosecution sought the contempt proceedings during December 5 hearing of the Mumbai case by Anti-Terrorism Court at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi. A witness was also cross-examined during the hearing. “One witness was cross-examined and our prayer (for contempt proceedings) will be taken up at the next hearing on December 11, 2013” Azhar said. The new lawyer Raja Rizwan Abbasi of the seven accused, including Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ‘commander’ Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, told a news conference in Islamabad that the evidence provided by India was a ‘sham’. “The dossiers provided by India are information and not evidence as needed by the court. The evidence provided by India is sham,” Raja Rizwan Abbasi said. Prosecution sources said they would not react publicly to Abbasi’s claims but would take them up legally. Lakhvi, Abdul Wajid, Mazhar Iqbal, Hammad Amin Sadiq, Shahid Jameel Riaz, Jamil Ahmed and Younas Anjum were arrested in July 2009 for their alleged role in the Mumbai attacks. Pakistan has acknowledged that the conspiracy behind the attacks was hatched on its soil. However, it claimed India has not provided enough evidence for action against the accused, a charge vehemently denied by New Delhi.

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. The petition was filed by a TV anchor Mubashir Lucman by challenging the alleged smuggling of Indian films and their exhibition in Pakistani cinemas. He had submitted that the exhibition of all Indian films, dramas and other programmes was in violation of Section 270-A Motion Pictures Ordinance 1979 and Martial Law Order No 81. Other petitioners from the local film industry contended that the damage caused by the screening of Indian films to Pakistan's film industry was irreparable.
