The petitioner, Anwarul Haq, also cited former interior minister Faisal Saleh Hayat and Dr Aafia Siddiqui’s ex-husband, Dr Mohammad Amjad Khan, as respondents.
The high court’s registrar had received a letter on February 2, 2009 from Haq, who claimed that the respondents were involved in handing over Dr Aafia Siddiqui to the US authorities. He also said that the US Judge Richard Berman, who conducted trial against Dr Aafia, was biased.
He pleaded the court summon all of them, as well as, former US President George Bush and Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai.
Justice Nisar Muhammad Sheikh, who headed the SHC single bench, said Haq had sent his letter by post and had failed to file his written statement to date. “In case the defendant fails to do so, the case shall proceed without him.” The bench adjourned the hearing till January 21 next year.

Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem
Assalamo Alaikum.
I read this notice through express tribune. it shows how our baboos and agencies play games. Insha Allah I will file my statement soon.
I thank Express Tribune for publishing this news as to the best of my knowledge no other newspaper has published this story.
Anwar Ul Haque
@Freeman: You say she was charged without any proof! Trial was conducted in open court, and anyone can read all about the trial details on Wikipedia, searching under her name !
@cautious: @Uza Syed: Would you please tell me if Afia was convicted for terrorism charge????? If not then you both should shut you mouth up. If you do not have knowledge why she was in Jail then you should not be commenting on it.
Specially Uza Syed. Shame on you.
Whatever she was charged for without any single proof.
Rather than sending "final notice" - why not send him a bill for wasting their time.
Can they all display their stupid mindset any more than this? A foreign terrrorist gets caught for her involvement with terrrorism, directly or indirectly, tried and convicted according to the laws of her chosen country and we keep on making fool of ourselves. Don't these courts have anything better than pursuing such non-issues?
