Missing persons case: IG FC issued contempt of court notice

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Thursday served a contempt of court notice to the inspector general of the Frontier Corps (FC) for not complying with its order in a case relating to the 'missing persons' of Balochistan.

This is the first time that a serving general has been issued a contempt of court notice. The court had previously warned IG FC Maj-Gen Ijaz Shahid that he may face contempt charges if he fails to appear before it on Dec 5.



During proceedings today, Attorney General Irfan Qadir appeared in court as counsel for Maj-Gen Shahid. However, the court said that the IG FC would not be given any leverage as long as he refuses to appear in court himself.

Heading the three-judge bench, Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry said that the IG FC should physically appear in court and explain his reasons for not obeying the orders of the court.
