The Sindh High Court on Monday issued notice to the secretary of Interior Ministry, home secretary, director general of Rangers, IGP of Sindh and other official respondents to file comments on a petition seeking whereabouts of the missing head of religious seminaries.
A division bench headed by Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar was seized with the matter filed by Sajida Bibi, who moved the court seeking its directives to law-enforcement agencies (LEAs) officials for recovery of her missing spouse. The woman petitioner submitted that her husband, Maulana Muhammad Mazhar, who is head of two religious seminaries and Al-Noor Trust, went missing from Jinnah airport on July 13, when he along with his son, Muhammad Sher Shah, was travelling to Lahore. The petitioner apprehended that her spouse was picked up by LEAs personnel who, according to her, were not disclosing his whereabouts.
She requested the court to direct LEAs officials to produce him before the court. Meanwhile, the same bench gave last chance to LEAs officials to submit their respective replies on a petition filed by Nadia Ali, who sought whereabouts her husband, Arif, allegedly kept in illegal detention by paramilitary troops. The petitioner said the Rangers personnel picked up Arif from Korangi No 6 on May 31 and since then he had been missing. She said she approached the officials of Rangers and police but there was no clue to him.
