Matter of people becoming missing brings bad name for country: IHC
ISLAMABAD (Online): Chief Justice (CJ) Islamabad High Court (IHC) has remarked that matter of people becoming missing earns bad name for the country.
He further remarked the appeals are pending since five years. We feel ashamed of sitting this way.
He gave these remarks while presiding over two members bench of IHC during the hearing of case related to journalist Mudassar Naro and other missing persons Thursday.
Justice Miangul Aurangzeb remarked people go missing but state does nothing. The previous Prime Minister (PM) appeared and he too misled. When next PM comes he will have different priorities.
He remarked the matter of people going missing is matter of extraordinary nature. Missing persons cases are bringing black blot on the name of Pakistan. Court issues directives repeatedly but implementation is not being made.
He observed state is powerful but it says in missing persons case it can do nothing in this regard. People go missing here. Do you expect development of this country. No country will give you dollars if your citizens are not safe. The courts should not tolerate the process of making the citizens missing at any cost. Attorney general should meet PM and inform the court about progress in this matter.
The court adjourned the hearing of the case for two weeks.
