Former Supreme Court judge and Chairman of the Missing Persons Commission, Justice (R) Faqir Muhammad Khokhar, has passed away.
His family has confirmed the news of his death, stating that his funeral prayers will be offered today, January 29, after the Asr prayer.
The funeral will take place in DHA Phase 8 (Park View), Lahore.
It is worth noting that just last week, the government had informed the public that Justice (R) Faqir Muhammad had been appointed as the new chairman of the Missing Persons Commission, replacing Justice (R) Javed Iqbal, who had been leading the commission since 2011.
On January 22, during a hearing on missing persons cases, the Additional Attorney General informed the Supreme Court that the government had appointed Justice (R) Fakir Muhammad as the new head of the commission, succeeding Justice (R) Javed Iqbal.
Media reports indicate that at the time of his appointment, Justice (R) Fakir Muhammad was receiving treatment at a hospital in Lahore.
