Islamabad - The Islamabad High Court (IHC) today (Monday) will resume the hearing of a case related to abduction of a young lawyer Hammad Dadan Advocate who was allegedly taken away by the personnel of a law enforcing agency.
A single bench of IHC comprising Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui will conduct the hearing of the petition moved by Hammad’s father Mumtaz Anwar Abbasi through his counsel Mirza Shahzad Akbar advocate.
On the last hearing, the court had directed the federal police to produce the missing lawyer before it today (Monday) besides, the registration of the First Information Report (FIR) of his abduction.
In this matter, Mumtaz Anwar Abbasi, father of detenu Hammad Dadan had moved the court seeking recovery of his missing son and cited Station House Officer (SHO) Police Station I-9, Islamabad, Inspector General (IG) of Islamabad Police, Ministry of Defence through its secretary, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Directorate through its Director General and Ministry of Interior through its secretary as respondents.
The petitioner informed the court that on the evening of June 20, 2015, which was the second day of the holy month of Ramzan, his son Hammad decided to attend the Tarawih prayer at Masjid Imam Abu Daud, opposite to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Islamabad and around 9pm Hammad left his home and on his way to the mosque, Hammad picked up three other young friends who also wanted to attend Tarawih at Masjid Abu Daud.
The father added that these included Ammar Dadan, Abdullah Umar son of Col. (Retd) Khalid Mahmud Abassi and Ahmad son of Haji Bashir. Ammar Dadan, around 28-year-old, is a second cousin of Hammad.
Narrating his torment, he continued that at or about 11 pm, the petitioner received a call on his mobile phone from Hammad’s mobile phone. He seemed in a state of shock and spoke only briefly. He said “Father, my car had been hit. We are near Beacon House. Please come to help us.” “The petitioner assured him that he was coming to help and immediately rushed out and drove towards Beacon House Margalla Campus, situated in H-8, near Shifa Hospital,” added Mumtaz Anwar.
He stated that when he reached Beacon House at around 11:30pm on June 20, 2015, he found out that Hammad’s car was standing on the road and Hammad was nowhere to be found in the car. Instead, the car was surrounded by a large number of by-standers who were gathered over there. Behind Hammad’s car was another car, a Toyota Vigo, which has been left half upturned and was now being lifted up by a crane.
The aggrieved father further stated that Ahmad Bashir, teenager friend of Hammad and the assembled people at the spot, which included a number of policemen, informed the petitioner that Hammad, Ammar and Abdullah have been abducted by armed personnel belonging to Inter-Service Intelligence, respondent No. 4.

Therefore, he prayed to the court that it may be pleased to issue a writ in the nature of habeas corpus to the respondents directing them to immediately produce the detenus before this court and provide redress for the criminal offences committed by the respondents against the detenus by directing the relevant authorities that criminal charges, under the relevant laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan be registered against those responsible for the abduction and subsequent detention of the detenus.
