The bench also summoned Khyber Agency PA in the next hearing to explain his position.
PESHAWAR:
The Peshawar High Court on Wednesday summoned the political agent (PA) of Khyber agency in connection with a murder case and ordered FCR commissioner to investigate.
A division bench issued the order in response to an application filed by Abdul Qayum. He claimed his son Faiz Muhammad was killed by Khasadar forces in a fake encounter in 2002. Qayam’s lawyer Fazal Shah Mohmand told the court Khasadar forces killed Muhammad and claimed Faiz died in a shoot-out with them to cover up. After hearing the arguments, the court ordered FCR Tribunal and FCR commissioner to form an independent inquiry committee to look into the matter. The bench also summoned Khyber Agency PA in the next hearing to explain his position.
