A two-member bench of the Supreme Court, comprising Justice Gulzar Ahmed and Justice Ijazul Ahsan, took suo motu notice in the case after an inquiry commission submitted its report to the court.

Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed ordered Supreme Court Bar Association President Amanullah Kanrani to provide legal assistance to the parents of the martyrs.

The attorney-general has been ordered to present the government’s strategy at the next hearing.

The martyrs’ parents invited Justice Ahmed to tour APS Peshawar and he has accepted.

The hearing has been adjourned for one month.

Justice Ahmed said the tragedy is that action is always taken against junior employees. Why wasn’t information of the attack given to the APS earlier, he asked.
