Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry had taken a suo motu notice of the killings on Sunday.
The court termed the case as “one of the most sensitive cases in the country”.
Hearing a petition filed earlier to the court by the Balochistan High Court Bar during the same hearing, the court told Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI) to submit a comprehensive report about the security situation of the province within the given deadline.
The court demanded that the ISI and MI that the report should not only entail the findings of the missing persons' case and incidents of target killing.
Chaudhry also ordered Inspector General of Police (IG) Sindh Mushtaq Shah to appear in person during the next hearing.
IG Shah told the court that the investigations are underway and said that the police feared that personal enmity could be behind the incident.
The chief justice remarked that the killings cannot be the result of an enmity.
Shah also said that the family members were not giving any statement on the incident and that the only survivor of the attack – the maid – has refused to record her statement.
The Supreme Court told IG Shah that it was the duty of the agencies to determine the cause of the attack.
IG Shah told the court that President Asif Ali Zardari phoned him twice to ask about the progress of the case.
The chief justice expressed dissatisfaction over the progress of the investigations.
Attorney General Maulvi Anwarul Haq prayed to the court that an extension should be given in the case, on which the court said that the investigations should have been compiled “within 24 hours”, given the sensitivity of the case.
The chief justice remarked that the ISI and MI should work together in order to bring out the people responsible for the attack. CJ Chaudhry also said that the case has its “repercussions” as seen by a three-day shutter-down strike throughout Balochistan.
During the hearing, Chief Justice Chaudhry said that the court was concerned about the law and order situation in Balochistan.
Justice Khilji Arif Hussain remarked that Balochistan is the “soul of Pakistan” and that Pakistan could not afford to lose it.
Domki’s wife, daughter and driver were gunned down early morning on January 31 near the Gizri Bridge in Clifton.
The victims were travelling in their black Toyota Mark II car (ANR-353) when the killers reportedly intercepted them and shot them dead at point-blank range.
The deceased were also related to Baloch Republican Party (BRP) chief Baramdagh Bugti.

No proof required.It's India all the way.It works to their advantage. Moreover, Muslims can't kill Muslims.
It could be india, actually estb would be foolish to kill them. This would only serve the cause of brahamdagh. If we read history such events are mostly carried out by the catalysts to use the situation in their advantage. Those who dont get this live in a wonderland.
@join together This NEWs should also have been on the main pages of every NEWS PAPER of PAKISTAN. If TIMES of INDIA has put it on front page, its good because the media of PAK is highly bothered about balochistan. Veena malik is more important an issue here. At least THE WORLD be a witness to the state terrorism in PAK via Times of INDIA. I am a PAK and have no problem if foreign newspaper are picking out stories which our media is afraid of doing.
Hang Them or India Will Take Advantange of Your Miseries
THIS NEWS OF Bugti's granddaughter killed in KarachI
IS IN MAIN PAGE OF TIMES OF INDIA.
Every body know who did this, by the people who are in real power corridors of Pakistan.
I think a mentally deranged person who agrees to everything will be found and the case foisted on him. Everybody will be happy and none the wiser.
Reminds me of the all time classic movie Casablanca where in the end the police chief says he has instructions from above to catch the culprits. So he turn to his number two and orders ' round up the usual suspects'...... everybody knows what that means.
Good move by SC to take noticed of this incident! There is a perception that the SC is soft towards the establishment however, this latest step of the SC is a step in the right direction the culprits need to be brought to justice!
@ Umer No but if police and our intelligence agencies cant figure out who did it then they should park their government given expensive cars..return their plots and sit at home..its the job of the police to catch the criminals..produce the proper evidence in front of the court for them to be tried...and it is about time some institute stood up for the baloch people.
The car in the picture looks like a Mark X to me.
Every one is there just to show concern to disguise. Most probably nothing will ever be known. If culprits got apprehended and brought to justice it will be a big break through.
It is sad that the supreme court of PAK seems to be the only institute that cares about the people of PAK. Whole gov machinery and the PPP gov is least bothered about the country and busy saving their own positions than working for the state.
It is equally sad that intelligence agencies of PAK have become a STATE withtin a STATE and the last hope it seems is SC whose own hands are tied under legal complexities and lack of support from gov and the GHQ.
The situation in balochistan especially the issue of missing persons and now the killings in KHI are a reminder of 1971 and a SERIOU wakeup call.
Will the Civil and Military leadership in capital kindly wakeup before its late ?
if pakistan is to be saved from another bangladesh incident...the culprits behind this attack..no matter who they are..MUST BE ARRESTED!
So now SC needs to get involved when we merely want the authorities to nab the wanted criminals behind murders? Why not we re-write the laws so instead of lodging an F.I.R (first information report) we are required to get the CJ to pass a notice to the authorities telling them a crime has been committed which needs to be looked at, pretty please! .. let's call it S.Y.O report (Sort Yourselves Out)
its strange that none of the media reported that she was also sister & niece of Brahmdagh Bugti and thats the reason why this is more complex then it appears and baloach ppl clearly suspect ISI to be behind it and they have been asked to report on same matter
Any wayz its very sad incident and i hope culprits get arrested , May God bless Pakistan
Did SC tell the police who the culprits were? If not how can arrest by 10 February be guaranteed? This SC seems to have lost its marbles.
