ISLAMABAD: Intelligence officials met Attorney General Anwarul Haq in his office on Tuesday and told him that there was a major breakthrough in the case of 11 missing inmates of Adiala Jail, sources told Pakistan Today.
They said just after the meeting, the attorney general filed an application in the Supreme Court seeking early hearing of the missing prisoners’ case, fixed for hearing on December 13. According to the sources, the attorney general stated in his application that a major development had occurred in the case of missing prisoners, thus the case may be heard on urgent basis.
They said the case could now be heard on December 9, instead of December 13. Earlier on November 25, a three-member Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, had questioned the law which regulated functioning of the intelligence agencies, besides inquiring under what law the agencies were claiming immunity to be not made respondents in constitutional petitions.
