Sindh High Court (SHC) on Thursday sought a revamped report from the AGP, police and other parties on progress pertaining to recovering missing persons. A two-member bench headed by Justice Naimatullah Phulpoto sought the report while hearing over a dozen petitions. Expressing displeasure over police incompetence, Justice Phulpoto termed a report presented unsatisfactory. The judge then admonished police personnel present. Justice Phulphoto said they should think of the plight of the families associated with missing persons. One of the petitioners told the court that her son had disappeared before Eidul Azha in Mirpur Bathoro. Another said that her son was frisked away by Muhammad Sharif alias Shooter. “My husband has been missing for four years. Police picked him up from home. My son was taken away by Rangers three years ago. There’s no sign of him”, said the petitioner. Justice Phulpoto adjourned the hearing after ordering the presentation of a satisfactory report. He also said that it should also be clarified to court, whether those missing were alive or dead to relieve their families. Published in Daily Times, September 7th 2018.
