QUETTA: Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court has denied taking suo-motu notice on the abduction of a child in Quetta. 

A five-member bench, led by Justice Ameenuddin Khan, heard the case regarding the child’s abduction in Quetta. During the proceedings, Attorney General Mansoor Usman Awan informed the court about a confidential progress report related to the abduction. He requested the bench to review the report in chambers and discussed the formation of a joint investigation team (JIT) for the child’s recovery. Justice Jamal Mandokhail clarified that the case is already under consideration and rejected any notion that the Constitutional Bench had taken suo-motu notice of the incident. The bench, after reviewing the report in chambers, resumed the hearing. A lawyer representing the Balochistan government then requested the court to intervene and end the ongoing sit-in in Quetta. However, Justice Musarrat Hilali remarked that resolving such matters was the responsibility of the local administration and that the federal government could provide support if needed.

The child’s father appeared in court, pleading for his child’s safe return. Justice Justice Jamal Mandokhail reassured the father, stating that full cooperation would be extended from all sides and emphasized that the police chief had provided detailed information in chambers. He also warned that certain details could not be disclosed to avoid compromising the investigation. Justice Mandokhail urged the media to refrain from excessive coverage, as it could endanger the child’s life.
