ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Thursday adjourned hearing in a case of two missing professors, brothers of Azhar Mashwani, due to the unavailability of their counsel.
Babar Awan was unable to attend the proceedings.
Additional Attorney General Munawar Iqbal Duggal informed the court that the attorney general had contacted the higher authorities regarding the case.
The court remarked that if the missing individuals had committed any crime, they should be brought before a magistrate and adjourned the hearing till Friday.
Meanwhile, the same court sought comments from the administration of Islamic International University in a case against the eviction of students from the hostel.
The court instructed the administration to address the students’ grievances and inform it the same day.
Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb remarked that it was so weird decision asking 3,500 students to vacate the hostel and remarked that the order would be suspended if the university didn’t find reasonable solution.
The university’s lawyer adopted the stance that there were vacations after the completion of semester due to which the students were being evicted from the rooms.
He said the decision was taken to stop clashes among the students groups.
The court said the rooms should be allotted as per merit, adding that the students had no right to choose the rooms themselves.
It asked the university administration to re-allot the rooms to the students.
The lawyer requested the court to grant time to get instructions from administration. The further hearing was then adjourned till Friday.
