![]() A PHC division bench on August 22 disposed of a habeas corpus petition about the whereabouts of Gul Andama, her son Bilal and two Baloch sisters after Deputy Attorney General Salahuddin, counsel for the Interior Ministry, told the court that the government and security agencies did not know their whereabouts. Barrister Masood Kauser told Daily Times that it was unfortunate that whenever such cases came to the court, 99 percent of them were disposed of due to âthe unprofessional attitudeâ of government lawyers. Andamaâs husband Hameed Khan, 75, in his petition said that the security agencies had picked up his son Bilal, wife Gul Andama and the two sisters. He said that Bilal had married Arifa and the agencies arrested them when they were returning from a hospital in Swat district where Saba had given birth to a baby boy. |
