SHC grants four weeks to locate missing son
The Sindh High Court has granted the foreign affairs and interior ministries another four weeks to submit information about the whereabouts of neuroscientist Dr Afia Siddiqui’s missing son and how he was granted American citizenship.
Headed by Chief Justice Mushir Alam, the bench was hearing a petition seeking legal assistance for Dr Siddiqui.
Filing a progress report earlier, the deputy attorney general Muhammad Ashraf Mughal maintained that the foreign affairs ministry had also taken up the matter with the American Embassy in Islamabad. He said that the court will be informed about any progress made in the matter.
On the last hearing, the SHC judges had warned to personally summon secretaries of foreign affairs and interior ministries as both ministries failed to submit replies in the case.
As the bench adjourned the hearing, the ministries were directed to submit their reports within four weeks.
