IHC last week had summoned PM Kakar along with defence, interior ministers and secretaries of ministries concerned. IHC writes written order to PM Kakar, ministers concerned.
Court directed them to ensure physical appearance at 10am.
This is second time PM Kakar has been summoned by IHC.
ISLAMABAD: An Islamabad High Court (IHC) bench Monday began hearing the case of the missing Baloch students.
A day earlier, IHC’s Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani issued a four-page written order summoning PM Kakar, defence and interior ministers along with the secretaries of the ministries concerned.
They were directed to ensure their physical appearance in today's hearing at 10am.
In the previous hearing on February 13, the court had directed the interim premier to appear before the bench.
At the outset of the previous hearing, the assistant attorney general (AAG) asked the court to adjourn the hearing as the attorney general was unavailable. However, the request was rejected.
Justice Kayani further remarked that the death penalty should be awarded to those involved in enforced disappearances.
“People involved [enforced disappearance] should be given the death penalty twice,” remarked Justice Kayani. He then asked the caretaker PM to appear in person to explain why a case should not be registered against him.
However, the advocate general pleaded with the court that they required more time in the case. But Justice Kayani refused to entertain the government’s plea.
This is the second time that PM Kakar has been summoned by the IHC. He was last summoned on November 22, 2023, to personally appear before it in the case filed by Advocate Imaan Mazari.
However, he did not appear as he was not in the country.
