The Sindh High Court (SHC) has disposed of a set of missing persons petitions after police confirmed that six individuals had been successfully traced and their whereabouts established. The development came during a hearing where law enforcement authorities submitted a detailed report to the constitutional bench.
According to the police report, all six individuals mentioned in the petitions were located, leading the court to conclude the proceedings. The cases included individuals who had gone missing from various areas of Karachi, including Jamshed Town, Rizvia Society, Shah Latif Town, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, and Korangi Industrial Area.
Police informed the court that Mohammad Asif and Samiullah, who had gone missing from Jamshed Town, were traced. Similarly, Namjeed from Rizvia Society and Jehangzeb from Shah Latif Town had returned to their homes.
In another case, Reema, a resident of Gulshan-e-Iqbal, was reported to have left her home voluntarily and later entered into a court marriage. Authorities clarified that no abduction had taken place in her case.
Meanwhile, Musarrat, who had been missing from the Korangi Industrial Area, was found at an Edhi Home, as per the police report presented before the court.
The petitions had named several officials as respondents, including the Inspector General of Sindh Police, senior superintendents of police from different districts, and Counter-Terrorism Department officials. Following confirmation of the recovery or return of all six individuals, the court disposed of the petitions.
This case highlights the role of judicial oversight and law enforcement coordination in resolving missing persons cases and ensuring transparency in such matters.
