The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Friday ordered the Defence Ministry to submit a report with the signatures of the sector commanders of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI) in the case of Azad Kashmir's missing person Khawaja Khurshid.
According to the 24NewsHD TV channel, Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani of the IHC heard the case for the recovery of Khawaja Khurshid who was missing for the last 18 days.
During the hearing on Friday, the public prosecutor informed the court that no case had been registered against Khawaja Khurshid with the police.
In response, Justice Kayani asked the representative of the Defence Ministry about the status of their report, noting that the police and FIA had already submitted their reports to the court.
The Defence Ministry representative replied that they had received the notice only yesterday and requested time until Monday to file their reply.
Justice Mohsin Kayani remarked that the Secretary of Defence seemed unaware of the situation. He emphasized that the report should be filed with the signatures of ISI and MI sector commanders because there will be "an outcome" of it.
Justice Kayani further stated that if Khawaja Khurshid was involved in any terrorism, anti-state, or criminal activities, appropriate action should be taken against him, and no objection would be raised.
The court then adjourned the hearing until June 24.
