Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry said on Tuesday that agencies have no excuse extending the detention of seven prisoners accused of terrorism being held in Parachinar, a private TV channel reported.
An apex court bench comprising Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Gulzar Ahmed and Justice Azmat Saeed was hearing the case.
He added that the detention was unlawful and could not be approved.
Chief Justice Iftikhar added that the detainees should have been sent to prison(s) if there was any evidence available against them.
The chief justice said Advocate Raja Mohammad Irshad, representing the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and the Military Intelligence (MI) had told the bench that evidence could not be found against the detainees.

  1. The courts from top to bottom are being too 'naive' for the reasons best known to them only.No wonder crime of very serious nature is on the rise.With such state of affairs no evidence will be allowed to come forth.Late Kamran Faisal is the latest victim and no SUO MOTO?
