The Rawalpindi High Court bench has issued a notice to Rawalpindi Regional Police Officer Khurram Ali regarding the disappearance of Sheikh Shakir, the nephew of former Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed, and his employee, who have been missing for five days. The court has summoned RPO Khurram Ali to appear personally on Tuesday, September 26, with a comprehensive report on the case.
The petition concerning the disappearance of former Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed was heard by Justice Sadaqat Ali Khan of the Rawalpindi High Court bench. During the hearing, the Chief Police Officer (CPO) of Rawalpindi presented a report stating that the former interior minister was apprehended within the jurisdiction of Islamabad, and Rawalpindi police had no knowledge of it.
The court dismissed this report as inaccurate and asserted that three officers, including the former minister, should have been detained in the city, and the police should not claim ignorance. Consequently, the court ordered RPO Khurram Ali to appear before the court in person.
It is worth noting that former Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed, his nephew Sheikh Shakir, and their employee Imran have been missing for five days.
Additionally, the Rawalpindi High Court bench, while accepting a petition challenging the cancellation of the ownership registry of Lal Haveli and its sealing, issued notices to Chairman Waqf Matruka Amalak and Deputy Administrator Rawalpindi Asif. The court has requested a detailed report, with the hearing scheduled for Tuesday, September 26. The request for an immediate unsealing of Lal Haveli was denied.
The High Court has summoned Chairman Waqf Matruka Amalak and Deputy Administrator Asif Khan, along with their respective reports.
Justice Chaudhry Muhammad Iqbal of the Rawalpindi Bench of the High Court presided over this matter and stated that the Waqf Department should respond regarding the abandoned property before any further action is taken.
This petition was brought before Justice Chaudhry Iqbal due to the leave of Justice Jawad Hassan. The legal representatives argued that Lal Haveli belongs to Sheikh Siddique, the elder brother of the former interior minister, and it was registered in 1988. They contended that canceling its ownership is illegal, and action should be taken against the Chairman of the Waqf abandoned properties.
