PHC seeks govt replies in missing persons' cases
PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court (PHC ) has sought replies from the federal and provincial governments in two missing persons' cases, including a jeweler. PHC Chief Justice Ishfaq Ibrahim heard the petitions on Monday. In the first case, petitioner informed the court that Sikandar Khan is his son-in-law, who was taken away from Charsadda several months ago and has not been produced in a court. He said that he is a school teacher and due to the case hearing, he was absent from school, which affected his students' studies. Chief Justice Ishfaq Ibrahim stated that representatives of the federal and provincial governments are present in court and will submit a report. Additional Attorney General Muhammad Inam Yousafzai argued that an FIR has been registered in the case, and therefore, the court should dispose of the petition. However, the CJ directed that the report should be submitted. The court remarked that it will not dispose of the petition. The court also issued notices to the federal and provincial governments. In a similar case, the lawyer for missing person Umar Shah from Tal, Abdullah, informed the court that his client was taken away from Tal a year ago. The petitioner alleged that the kidnappers are demanding money in exchange for his brother's release and have also taken possession of goods worth Rs850 million. He stated that the kidnappers claim that they will release his brother only after payment of extortion. They also refused to return the seized goods. The chief justice inquired about the petitioner's occupation, and he replied that he is a goldsmith. His brother was also kidnapped, and the kidnappers took possession of gold. The court expressed dissatisfaction over the absence of a government report and stated that a judgment will be issued once the report is received. Subsequently, the court sought a response from the federal government.
