Court orders seizure of Musharraf's property

Express April 30, 2010

ABBOTABAD: Abottabad District and Sessions Judge Abdulmateen Khan ordered former President Pervez Musharraf's property to be seized on Thursday.

The action was taken after Musharraf failed to appear before the court on April 29. He had been summoned in the case of Ishqur Rehman, an intelligence agency employee who went missing in Musharraf's tenure. Rehman has not been found to date.

The court has also instructed the SP Investigation to appear in court with records relevant to the case on May 6. The court has also warned that if the SP fails to appear, he will be arrested.

Aamir Ali | 14 years ago | Reply How is "Ishqur Rehman" disappearance directly linked to Mr Musharraf? Do they have a single piece of evidence that Musharraf planned or ordered that disappearance? Specific charges have to be proven else no sentence can be passed. This is just a attempt to get name in papers and get judge elevated to higher position. Kangaroo courts of Pakistan are a disgrace.

cheema | 14 years ago | Reply Please do not call them kangaroo court. It is an insult to kangaroo. You can call them Nawaz sharif(Hmmmm) and company chaukidars.

ken khan | 14 years ago | Reply What we are experiencing is the same what we have seen in two governments of these corrupted and criminals politicians. Where is this Iftikhar Choudhry what so call The Chief Justice? How comes Without any proper and Legitimate evidence,any person could be charge the crime and specially EX President, What a Shame.

chaudary amjad hameed | 14 years ago | Reply Who care's about these kangroo courts. It is just to divert the attention from the real causes facing this regime. Everyday hundred of people go missing, is it the job of the president to find them out?

Sultan Ahmed | 14 years ago | Reply Judiciary is a balance wheel of whole system. Account must be settled according to law. No one above the law. It is duty of those to find missing persons, who are really responsible for that.

adeel azhar | 14 years ago | Reply Seizure of Chak Shehzad farm house will give Ansar Abbasi some free time for constructive journalism...good decision by court in that respect :)

Yasir Qadeer | 14 years ago | Reply Although the decision of courts should be respected on all platforms but one needs to be careful not to use these institutions for revenge or a politics of confrontation. We need to learn the liberal values of politics.

Absar | 14 years ago | Reply Once the court gives the order, it's not open to any authority to defy. While there's a room for criticism, there's no room for defiance. Musharraf should have appeared before the court. But no, he's a former president and a veteran general. Why would he be harmed? Or why shouldn't Musharraf brag by not appearing before the court as he belongs to country's powerful elite. Appearance of such people is against the very spirit of Pakistan's tradition!

Anonymous | 14 years ago | Reply All citizens have equal right and no one is above the law. How it is possible that a person go missing for an indefinite period. The Judge is right in passing the orders. Ishqur Rehman and Musharraf have equal rights. Now it is the turn of SP to produce Ishqur Rehman before the court or be prepared to go to jail.

Fasih Ali Khan | 14 years ago | Reply So much of An ''Independent Judiciary''. Shame.

Shahzad Khan | 14 years ago | Reply Good tactic for elevation to High court.

WAZDAN | 14 years ago | Reply Still illegal disappearance is in progress, the best way is to collect the list of prisons from tribal areas as lot of peoples are in tribal jails.where they are not charged or recorded. the tribal areas will prove to be having a lot of missing peoples.
