ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday directed the National Assembly secretary to submit a report regarding PTI leader and former human rights minister Dr Shireen Mazari’s May 21 arrest, which IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah observed was “not according to the legal process”.
The IHC, while hearing a petition filed by the former minister’s daughter, Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir, had termed Mazari’s arrest in a land case registered with the Anti-Corru¬ption Establishment (ACE) as unlawful. It had also ordered a judicial inquiry into her arrest and asked the federal government to frame its terms of reference (ToRs).
When the hearing resumed yesterday, Deputy Attorney General Arshad Mehmood Kiani presented a notification issued by the federal government to constitute an inquiry commission.
The notification dated June 4, stated the commission’s ToRs. The members of the commission are retired justice Shakoor Paracha, retired inspector general of police (IGP) Dr Naeem Khan and retired federal secretary Saifullah Chattha. –Agencies
