ISLAMABAD:
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday sought an explanation from the federal government for its decision not to become a party in the US court proceedings concerning Dr Aafia Siddiqui.
Justice Sardar Ijaz Ishaq issued the directive during the hearing of a petition filed by Dr Fawzia Siddiqui, seeking the repatriation of her sister, Dr Aafia Siddiqui. The court instructed the Additional Attorney General to present the reasons behind the government’s stance at the next hearing.
During the proceedings, the petitioner’s counsel, Imran Shafiq, along with the Additional Attorney General and other relevant officials, appeared before the court.
