ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Tuesday summoned a report from the Balochistan government over the implementation of orders regarding the law order situation in the province, DawnNews reported.

The SC on Monday had given the provincial government the final deadline of Tuesday to produce the three ‘missing persons’ pertaining to the case of law and order situation in Balochistan.

A three-member bench of the SC, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, was hearing the case.

Seven men had gone missing from Quetta’s Sariab Road on March 1, but four of the seven persons were produced and brought to the Quetta Registry of the SC on April 6, 2011.

Earlier the previous day, the bench had expressed displeasure over the absence of Inspector General (IG) Balochistan and his failure to produce the three ‘missing persons’ during Monday’s proceedings.

The three people, who were reported to have returned to their homes Monday night, were presented in the court today.

The bench ordered the Attorney General and the Advocate General to present a detailed report on the names of victims of target killing incidents during the past two months.

The next hearing of the case is to be held at the SC’s Quetta registry.
