While hearing a case on missing persons, Peshawar High Court (PHC) Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan on Wednesday ordered the federal government to take concrete steps for resolving the case, and inform the court by May 16. “The missing persons’ case is a grave matter. It is tarnishing the respect earned by Pakistani troops in the war against terrorism,” the chief justice said.
“The military and agencies should work together to find a solution and implement the court’s order,” he added. Defence Secretary Nargis Sethi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Secretary Ghulam Dastagir, and Interior Secretary Azam Khan had been summoned for the hearing. Sethi assured the court that its order would be implemented, and a meeting in this regard would be held soon.
