RAWALPINDI, Aug 6: The Lahore High Court, Rawalpindi bench, on Friday directed the government to submit para-wise comments within three weeks in a case related to the detention of three members of a family in connection with an attempt on the life of President Musharraf near Jhanda Chichi bridge here.

Taking up a habeas corpus petition, Justice Tanveer Bashir Ansari directed the director-general Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and secretaries of ministries of interior and defence to submit, within a week, para-wise comments to the court.

Saedaan Bibi had filed the petition through her counsel, Mohammad Ikram Chaudhry, contending that her husband, Mohammad Muneer, and her two sons, Asad Ali and Babar Ali, had been detained by the law-enforcement agencies for the last seven months in connection with the first attack on the life of Pervez Musharraf near Jhanda Chichi in December last year.

The agencies had kept her husband and sons in solitary confinement since then and were yet to present them before any court, while they were also not allowed to meet their family.
