ABBOTABAD: Abottabad District and Sessions Judge Abdulmateen Khan ordered former President Pervez Musharraf’s property to be seized on Thursday.
The action was taken after Musharraf failed to appear before the court on April 29. He had been summoned in the case of Ishqur Rehman, an intelligence agency employee who went missing in Musharraf’s tenure. Rehman has not been found to date.
The court has also instructed the SP Investigation to appear in court with records relevant to the case on May 6. The court has also warned that if the SP fails to appear, he will be arrested.

Still illegal disappearance is in progress, the best way is to collect the list of prisons from tribal areas as lot of peoples are in tribal jails.where they are not charged or recorded. the tribal areas will prove to be having a lot of missing peoples.Recommend
Good tactic for elevation to High court.Recommend
So much of An ”Independent Judiciary”. Shame.Recommend
All citizens have equal right and no one is above the law. How it is possible that a person go missing for an indefinite period. The Judge is right in passing the orders. Ishqur Rehman and Musharraf have equal rights. Now it is the turn of SP to produce Ishqur Rehman before the court or be prepared to go to jail.Recommend
Once the court gives the order, it’s not open to any authority to defy. While there’s a room for criticism, there’s no room for defiance. Musharraf should have appeared before the court. But no, he’s a former president and a veteran general. Why would he be harmed? Or why shouldn’t Musharraf brag by not appearing before the court as he belongs to country’s powerful elite. Appearance of such people is against the very spirit of Pakistan’s tradition!Recommend
Although the decision of courts should be respected on all platforms but one needs to be careful not to use these institutions for revenge or a politics of confrontation. We need to learn the liberal values of politics.Recommend
Seizure of Chak Shehzad farm house will give Ansar Abbasi some free time for constructive journalism…good decision by court in that respect :)Recommend
Judiciary is a balance wheel of whole system.
Account must be settled according to law.
No one above the law.
It is duty of those to find missing persons,
who are really responsible for that.Recommend
Who care’s about these kangroo courts. It is just to divert the attention from the real causes facing this regime. Everyday hundred of people go missing, is it the job of the president to find them out?Recommend
What we are experiencing is the same what we have seen in two governments of these corrupted and criminals politicians. Where is this Iftikhar Choudhry what so call The Chief Justice? How comes Without any proper and Legitimate evidence,any person could be
charge the crime and specially EX President,
What a Shame.Recommend
Please do not call them kangaroo court. It is an insult to kangaroo.
You can call them Nawaz sharif(Hmmmm) and company chaukidars.Recommend
How is “Ishqur Rehman” disappearance directly linked to Mr Musharraf? Do they have a single piece of evidence that Musharraf planned or ordered that disappearance? Specific charges have to be proven else no sentence can be passed.
This is just a attempt to get name in papers and get judge elevated to higher position. Kangaroo courts of Pakistan are a disgrace.Recommend
Musharraf deserves severe punishment for what he did to destroy various civilian institutions and encourage corruption in the countryRecommend
Plz save usRecommend
