The Supreme Court (SC) has been moved for initiation of contempt of court proceedings against the army chief, GHQ Rawalpindi CGS, GHQ MS and the defence secretary for allegedly giving false statements in court and taking steps to save Major Haider, allegedly involved in kidnapping of missing person Tasif Malik.

Col (r) Inamur Rahim filed the petition in SC on Monday making senior military officers respondents.

The petitioner took the plea that the MI DG had filed a reply through Ibrahim Satti advocate that no officer in the name of Major Haider was working in MI.

The same reply was also given by the Defence Ministry later. GHQ Rawalpindi CGS Lt Gen Rashid Mehmood also filed the same reply.

On the other hand, army chief Gen Ashfaq Kayani transferred Maj Haider from 918 battalion to Punjab. It was said in the appointment orders of Maj Haider that this was a temporary appointment under which Maj Haider was being sent to infantry after transferring him out from intelligence department. The army chief had accorded approval to this order.

The petitioner said it had been proven from police investigation that Major Haider, whose real name was Maj Ali Ahsan, had made telephonic calls to family members of Tasif Malik, husband of Dr Abida Malik.

He was sent from Mirpur to Mangla first and later from Mangla to Balochistan.

The court has already ordered police to take action in this regard. The matters have become clear now. All these jobs have been done for hiding Maj Haider and misguiding the court.

He prayed the court to initiate contempt of court proceedings against officers, including Army Chief Gen Ashfaq Kayani, GHQ Rawalpindi CGS, Lt Gen Rashid Mehmood, GHQ Rawalpindi MS Lt Gen Mazhar Jamil and Defence Secretary Lt Gen (r) Asif Yasin Malik.

The real identification of an officer of military intelligence has come to light for the first time in the matter related to missing persons under SC pressure and efforts of police.

The documents presented in the SC during the hearing of missing persons case revealed that the real name of military intelligence officer, who was working under code name Major Haider, was is in fact major Muhammad Ali Ahsan and he was deputed in Awaran district of Balochistan nowadays.

  1. A right move not withstanding the fact that I personally like Army Chief Kayani but it is the culture of detaining people unlawfully which we need to to stand up against. People can be arrested following a complaint and arrested on the charges of law breaking. They need to be produced before a magistrate and stand a trial at the end of which they can be convicted or acquitted.

  2. Pakistan need to bring the criminal police of Pakistan and army under justice law. and civil law is not functioning in Pakistan currently, if someone kills somebody, then he is being released on ransom money,which is being taken by the victim family or someone else, the police are also involved that kind of activity.

  3. Dear disappearances are not an unnatural phenomenon and happens all the time all around the world. It is the miguiding perception instilled in the public's brains by the so-called free media. Sadly, terrorists and their accomplices swooped off their feet, successfully brought to courts to face trials have been stupidly let free by courts (so many many times). And then we start blaming the intelligence community and Law Enforcing Agencies. We are not letting them do their job. Cleaning the society is not an easy job. If you people are so in favor of the judiciary and media's role, then leave your keyboards and start hunting the bad guys.

  4. Many of the disappearances are a result of corrupt Police, Waderas and settling of personal enmities. And yes, the courts are either not competant, corrupt or party to such people.

  5. High time, High time. Media is polluting your minds. Making you think that [Terrorists] are victims. Wake up you people
