During the hearing the court stated that the court’s order was not implemented in the missing persons’ case.
Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry summoned Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on immediate basis.
Attorney General Munir A Malik and acting Defence Secretary Arif Nazir appeared in the court. The CJ questioned them about the missing persons on which acting defence secretary responded that the missing persons could not be presented in the court due to some serious security issues.
On this, the CJ remarked that the court order has to be implemented come what may. He further said that if they want to detain someone, then they should introduce an ordinance.
On this occasion, the attorney general told that a bill for missing persons will be presented in the current Parliament session.
The Chief Justice, then, said that the government including the prime minister is well aware about the case. The CJ also summoned the acting head of FC and said that army personnel can even come down from Siachen via helicopters.(GNN)(Geo)
