ISLAMABAD: Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) has sought reports from sector commanders of Inter-Services Intelligence and Military Intelligence deputed in Rawalpindi, Islamabad and Azad Jammu and Kashmir on a petition seeking the whereabouts of a citizen.
Mr Khursheed, a resident of Neelum Valley, went missing on June 7, according to the petition filed by Khaleeqa Khursheed. She stated Mr Khursheed was in Rawalpindi and went to G-13 sector of Islamabad, but did not return home.
The petitioner’s counsel informed the IHC that Mr Khursheed’s brother had lodged a complaint with local police but he could not be traced.
In its order on Saturday, the court noted that deputy attorney general submitted written reports on behalf of FIA and CTD in compliance with June 14 direction to the government. Both FIA and CTD reports have denied custody of Mr Khursheed.
The defence ministry’s law officer asked Justice Kayani for more time to file reports on behalf of the intelligence agencies.
“The sector commanders of ISI and MI of Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Azad Jammu and Kashmir are directed to submit their reports in writing with their own signatures,” the judge ordered. The next hearing is set for June 24.
