ISLAMABAD: A judge of Supreme Court (SC) Justice Javaid Iqbal, in his remarks, while conducting hearing of cases of missing people, has said state has completely botched in rendering obligations levied upon it, adding, Balochistan adversities can never be addressed properly unless the resolution of missing people issue, Geo news reported.
A three-member-bench of SC, headed by Justice Javaid Iqbal, held hearing of missing people today.
No agency or institution is exempted from constitution, remarked Justice Javaid, urging upon parliament to play its due role in legislating law for the recovery of missing and abducted people.
“I wonder how democracy gets jeopardized all of a sudden”, he wondered adding, “Even judges have rendered sacrifices more than any one else for the restoration of democracy and they are more patriot than others.”
Cases like missing people pose threat to democracy instead of any judicial verdict, as judiciary and independent judiciary itself is basic element for stability, hegemony and prosperity of democracy, he added.
Adjoining the hearing of case for two weeks, the court has resolved to hold hearing on daily basis and also issued directives to Attorney General to produce before court, the list of missing people.
