RAWALPINDI, June 12: An ex-judge of Lahore High Court seeks acquittal in two forgery cases registered against him some 22 years ago by Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).

He was shifted to Adiala jail on May 9 after he was acquitted in other cases registered against him in Hyderabad, Karachi and Multan. He has been in different prisons since 1992.

Dr Ghulam Mustafa Ismail Qazi, a former ad-hoc judge of the Lahore High Court and also the husband of an army captain, Dr Mubarika, who was killed in Siachen 18 years ago, has not been produced in any court of law in Rawalpindi for the last month as his case file has yet to be traced.

Two FIRs under sections 17, 18 and 22 of Passport Act were registered against him by the defunct special investigation unit of FIA in 1986.

He is to be produced before Special Judge Central Shaukat Ali Sajid where his case is pending but the FIA has yet to trace his case file, it has been learnt by Dawn through his lawyer Dilip Kumar Ladhani.—Our Reporter
