The Chief Justice's notice comes even as a security convoy was targeted on the west bypass in Quetta today, leaving three security officials injured.
The Chief Justice has passed the following order through a press release:
“It appears that the situation of Balochistan is deteriorating day by day and there is hardly any preventive action in sight to protect the citizens. The people are suffering acts of violence and are facing insecurity. The successive incidents of terrorism caused death of several innocent persons.”
A notice will be issued to the Attorney General for Pakistan, Advocate General Government of Balochistan, Secretary Interior Government of Pakistan, Chief Secretary, Government of Balochistan, Home Secretary, Government of Balochistan, Inspector General of Police, Government of Balochistan and IG, FC Quetta to submit reports explaining the government's policy to combat the incidents of violence and terrorism -- and to appear before the court on August 15th in Quetta.

This is a minor issue, suggest you concentrate on major ones like contempt? After all what is a life worth in Pakistan? But ego well that's another story.

Justice for the elite only. The presidential election were moved backward to allow the royal family to go to Saudi Arabia on their own schedule. Thank you chief justice of raiwind.
Good job Chief Justice!
We are banning organizations but not taking actions against them.
BLA must be taken out!
And since when has the national security become a Chief Justice's issue. Why on earth should IGFC or IG Balochistan report to Mr. CJ. I think CJ is giving this nation false hope. Its the responsibility of the the elected governments and let the people ask them about it. Your heroics certainly divert public's attention.
It's not just Balochistan, entire country is burning. Most importantly federal interior ministry is non existent. Summon Ch. Nisar, who has proved totally incompetent.
Dear chief justice what about shia genocide in Pakistan?
Whatever we pay this guy is too much.
Another useless period of hearings and statements from the supreme court is about to begin. Now we will hear big headlliners coming out of the court
Another "LOL" for Pakistanis....
Not impressed
good step. how about also taking suo moto on the election rigging in PAkistan especially in Balochistan???? or is the court waiting for go ahead from raiwind?
The honorable court should concentrate on its own job description and deliver justice to people and over come pendency. The failed suo moto Judicial Drama has once again being staged to attract TV & media blitz and cover own failures.
Absolute silence on Hazara genocide since 2003 and now Suo moto on recent killings in Baluchistan in which the Punjabis were the major victim, is a clear indication that unlike the rest of the world, in Pakistan,justice is working with all the five senses and is a privilege and not the right.
Drama to cover the issue. When was the last time anyone was punished after fair trial?
