ISLAMABAD (National Times) Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani of Islamabad High Court (IHC) has remarked if some one holds press conference on behalf of some one he is at liberty to do it as it makes no difference.
The case for recovery of missing Baluch students came up for hearing in IHC Tuesday.
Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani took up the case for hearing.
Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani inquired from Attorney General (AG) It is allegation that so many people are allegedly in the custody of agencies. They eat food. The expense is incurred by state. Is annual audit of fund of agencies conducted. The courts will continue to work as long as the cases of missing persons take place. If some one holds press conference on the behalf of some one else he is at liberty to hold it. It makes no difference as the courts transcend these things.
He further observed No Pakistani be he a journalist or parliamentarian is supporting terrorists. No court, judge, journalist, lawyer and parliamentarian talks of preventing agencies from working as per law. They talk of preventing them from doing the work against the law. If the procedure of working of agencies becomes clear then it will be good. In law FIA and police can investigate. Agencies can assist in investigation. We have to work within the ambit of law.
Attorney General (AG) Mansoor Awan said we have done a lot of work in missing persons cases. We will do it what is left. Please give some time more. The political solution to this matter is being explored.
Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani remarked ceasefire is done in war by waving white flag. Solution is found through talks.
AG said in reply we also request this that some time be given. The missing persons matter will be taken up in next two meetings of cabinet. Court should make change in the committee of DG ISI, SI, DG MI and DG IB. Court should put in it below DG level people so that coordination process is eased.
Judge replied I will issue order. You see it.
Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani while moving to AG said “AG Sahb tell this where are people like you who resolves problems.
AG said Sir, it is most difficult question. If this problem is not resolved then the problems will increase.
The court said to AG we have another case of missing persons. You should come in this case too.
