The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday expressed its annoyance over non-recovery of a missing lawyer, Muhammad Yafis Naveed, hailing from Multan.

A single bench of IHC comprising Chief Justice Athar Minallah heard the petition moved by the High Court Bar Association (HCBA) Multan through its President Malik Haider Usman Advocate and General Secretary Mian Muhammad Arshad Waqas.

The petitioner has made secretary Interior, Inspector General (IG) of Islamabad Police and SHO Kohsar Police Station Islamabad, respondents.

During the hearing, a police official informed the court that a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) had been constituted to trace the whereabouts of the missing lawyer.

He requested the court to grant some time to the JIT in this matter.

The case was deferred for two weeks.

The petition said, Muhammad Yafis Naveed, former vice president of the HCBA, Multan along with his wife and children reached Islamabad on August 7, 2019, and stayed in a hotel in G-7 Markaz.

Petitioners added that the next day, the abductee and his family went to Blue Area where he said to his wife to wait there as he was going to meet his friend.

They continued that the wife of Muhammad Yafis Naveed waited for her husband for approximately two hours and after this, she tried to make call on his phone but his mobile phones were switched off.

The petition read that after the occurrence, the wife of the abductee approached the respondents and requested them to recover Yafis but they turned a deaf ear to her request and bluntly stated that he was not in their custody.
