The court said that the government’s efforts in recovering the missing persons were nothing but mere paperwork.

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Thursday said that the government’s efforts to recover the missing persons were nothing but mere paperwork.

The Attorney-General informed the Supreme Court that the government was trying to establish a commission to locate missing persons across the country.

However, the court seemed far from convinced and Justice Javed Iqbal asked the Attorney-General to present an example of a positive outcome from any government commission.

Balochistan’s Chief Secretary also addressed the court. He said certain problems in tracing the missing can only be discussed during an in-camera session.

However, Justice Javed Iqbal said the in-camera session was rejected as the Supreme Court felt that nothing should be kept secret from the public in the missing persons’ case.
