The Anti-Terrorism Court-III declared two cases as dormant against the head of the banned Peoples Amn Committee Uzair Jan Baloch and the Friends of Lyari leader Habib Jan Baloch on Friday.
This process is part of a larger pattern that has seen most cases naming Uzair Baloch and other leaders of the Peoples Amn Committee as being declared dormant. Police officers from a number of stations have told the court that they have been unable to arrest any of these men.
The case naming Habib Jan Baloch was filed at the Kalakot police station under sections of the Pakistan Penal Code that cover assault or use of criminal force to prevent public servants from doing their duty, obstructing public servants, attempted murder and common intent and under sections 3 and 4 of the Explosives Act.
Uzair Baloch and 15 other men were named in the First Information Report 77/2012 that was filed at the Napier police station under sections of the Pakistan Penal Code that deal with attempted murder, causing hurt and mischief. Non-bailable warrants for the men were issued by the court on July 31.
