(24 News) Chief Justice Islamabad High Court Amir Farooq says that it has become a police state. Shall I order a case of theft against the authorities?
In the Islamabad High Court, a hearing was held on the petition filed by PTI leader Maimoona Kamal for the recovery of workers, women and employees arrested during the raid on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretariat. Chief Justice Amir Farooq heard the petition. During the hearing, DIG Operations and FIA Director Cyber Crimes and Additional Attorney General appeared in the court while Syed Ali Bukhari, the lawyer of the petitioner Maimoona Kamal also appeared in the court.
When the hearing started, Chief Justice Aamir Farooq said that a request has been received that the police and FIA have abducted the workers without registering a case, to which Additional Attorney General Manoor Iqbal Dogal replied that the FIA has registered a case. Yes, the people named in the case are arrested, the rest have been released on personal recognizance, 10 men and 2 women are involved in this case, none of the 6 women have been arrested, all have been released on personal recognizance, lawyer petitioner Ali. Bukhari said that the names of 10 women who were picked up have been written, 2 women are being prosecuted while it has been found out about 2 women that they have returned, the Chief Justice said. Cleared.
On which the Additional Attorney General said that the request for arbitrary detention has become ineffective and should be disposed of, Chief Justice Amir Farooq refused and said that no, this request has not become ineffective yet. Have all the arrested people been arrested? 10 How people were kept there for hours? I think it is wrong to keep someone in custody for 10 hours and not register a case, they cannot go out, not be produced before the magistrate, 10 out of 32, 12 people. was arrested, the rest were kept in illegal detention, arrest cannot be done at the request of the investigating officer, there must be a reason, what will be the status of the 21 people who were kept for 10 hours and released? The 21 people who were released by the Chief Justice were not arrested.
Chief Justice Islamabad High Court Amir Farooq said that according to the request, 10 women and 15 men have been picked up. Bukhari said that we do not know anything about three or four people, we are not having any contact. During the hearing, lawyer Ali Bukhari said that I am not going to leave this time, I have come fully prepared. Asked the authorities if there is any evidence of leaving the male workers on private duty? You pick people up and drop them off 10 hours later? The Additional Attorney General replied that there were unknown people in the case, so others were also arrested.
The Chief Justice then asked under which law you can arrest a person like this? Can you arrest anyone without any evidence? All the people sitting in the PTI secretariat should have been arrested? Is it a crime to be present in that office? If Ali Bukhari Advocate had been there, would he have been arrested? Advocate Ali Bukhari said that water dispensers were also taken away from the party secretariat, on which Chief Justice Amir Farooq asked the authorities if the water was for drinking? 32 people were taken away from there, did you want them all?
Lawyer Ali Bukhari told the court that the mobile phones of all the people were not returned, Chief Justice Amir Farooq requested whether the mobile phones of these people are with FIA? Director FIA Cyber Crimes responded by saying that we have the mobile phones of 10 people and will return them. The director of FIA replied that he had to do a technical analysis, so the mobile phone was kept. Trials go on over the same stuff, you know taking someone’s property is stealing?
Chief Justice Amir Farooq ordered to return the belongings of the people, the Chief Justice spoke to the FIA officials and said, “Look at the law, don’t you know the law?” Now that the matter has come before me, I will write some order on it. If you want, you can do it. That’s what a police state is. Don’t do anything according to the law. Shall I write that a case of theft should be registered? Those who want to hand over court decisions, I will write an order.
