The Supreme Court on Monday extended the deadline by 24 hours and ordered the authorities to produce missing persons today (Tuesday).
The court ordered the defence secretary to appear himself along with the undeclared detainees before the court.
It also directed to register an FIR against those responsible for the death of the two missing persons.
An inquiry against the officer, who wrote a letter to remove additional attorney general from the case, should also be initiated, the court added in its ruling.
A three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, heard the missing persons’ case.
During the course of proceedings, the defence secretary submitted a report over the non-recovery of missing persons.
According to report, two of the missing persons died in the custody while efforts were being made to recover the other 33.
The chief justice remarked that the defence secretary should comply with court orders instead of providing such statements.
He ordered to produce a report of undeclared detainees in all internment centres.
The additional defence secretary said two of the men died in an internment centre of Lakki Marwat. On which, the CJP asked the official to register a case against those responsible for the deaths.
Earlier, Attorney General of Pakistan Munir A Malik informed the court that two of the missing persons died in the custody. He informed the bench that one of them died in December 2012 and the other in July 2013. He also revealed that Defence Minister Khawaja Asif had told him about the deaths of the missing persons on Sunday.
The CJP ordered arrest of internment centre authorities and filing of a case against them. The CJP directed the authorities to produce remaining missing persons and hand over the bodies to the heirs.
“Close down the detention centres if the detainees are to be killed in such a way… The government has also kept a mum in this issue and demonstrating non-cooperation,” he observed.
Justice Chaudhry said the deaths have made the case even more complicated. He also ordered that the names and other details of the deceased should be submitted to the court.
He remarked that the death under custody of the agency was murder and said the remaining 33 persons should be presented in the court.
