A court in Rawalpindi sentenced a self-proclaimed prophet to death on January 23 after convicting him of blasphemy, reported Dawn. Additional District and Sessions judge Naveed Iqbal also imposed a fine of PKR1 million on Mohammad Asghar, a 65-year-old British national. Asghar was arrested in Sadiqabad in 2010 after he wrote letters to different people, including the Station House Officer (SHO) of Sadiqabad Police Station, claiming that he was a prophet. Police booked Asghar under section 295-C of the PPC. The section reads: “Whoever by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representation or by any imputation, innuendo, or insinuation, directly or indirectly, defiles the sacred name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, shall be punished with death or imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine.”

Former President General (retired) Pervez Musharraf was served with an arrest warrant at the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) in Rawalpindi District of Punjab on February 3, two days after they were issued by a Special Court, formed for his trial, reported The Express Tribune. A Special Court constituted to try Musharraf for high treason had issued a warrant, carrying a bail bond of PKR 2.5 million. The court had also ordered the Islamabad Police to submit a compliance report to the court on February 7, 2014. Inspector General of Islamabad Police Sikandar Hayat said, “He [Musharraf] will be given two options: either to be arrested or to submit a surety bond for his bail”. Meanwhile, The Express Tribune reported that the expenditure on his security has crossed the PKR100 million threshold in just nine months. Over 400 Police and Rangers personnel are guarding him. Police sources say that the extraordinary security given to a single person has taken a heavy toll on the overall performance of the Islamabad Police, which is facing an acute shortage of security staff. According to the sources, every month around PKR10 million is being spent to secure him. The sources said that every Police Station in the Federal Capital area of Islamabad has 50 to 60 staff, but Musharraf has been given a security detail that could populate eight Police Stations.

A Lahore High Court (LHC) division bench headed by Justice Shahid Hameed Dar on March 20 granted bail to Malik Ishaq, the leader of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and Ahl-e-Sunnat-Wal Jama’at (ASWJ), in two cases where he is accused of delivering provocative speeches, reports The Express Tribune. The division bench granted the bail subject to furnishing two bail bonds of PKR 200,000 each. Ishaq’s counsel said such First Information Reports (FIRs) were registered on applications of aggrieved parties, but in this case the Police registered FIRs on its own to victimise him over his religious views. He said Ishaq was detained in April 2013 under the Maintenance of Public Order and arrested in June under these FIRs. He asked the court to grant him bail. Investigation Police Officer said that they had lodged two cases against Ishaq, who was accused on August 8, 2012 and February 2, 2013 for making provocative speeches at public gatherings. He added the petitioner had tried to spread hatred and to create unrest in the area.

The proceeding in the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terror attacks case (26/11) has come to a standstill as the special judge of the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC), Atiqur Rehman, has expressed his inability to conduct the trial of seven Pakistani suspects in the Adiala Jail of Rawalpindi District of Punjab due to security reasons, Dawn reports on April 4. Sources close to the proceedings revealed that since March 3, 2014, when terrorists attacked the District Courts in Islamabad, there has been no progress on the trial with the ATC unable to complete the cross examination of even a single witness. The ATC judge demanded that the Federal Government should deploy Rangers for his security. However, the Government has not done anything for his security so far. Advocate Raja Rizwan Abbasi, who is representing the accused Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and other suspects, when contacted, confirmed that there was no progress on the case for about a month. He said the Federal Government was responsible for the delay as the ATC judge had refused to conduct the jail trial of the accused persons because of security reasons. “Had the Federal Government provided the requisite security to the judge, the proceedings would not have been delayed,” he added. However, Advocate Mohammad Azhar Chaudhry, the special prosecutor of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) said the prosecution was trying to complete the trial as early as possible.

The Lahore High Court (LHC) Rawalpindi bench on April 7 ordered Punjab Inspector General (IG) of Police Khan Baig to submit a report on the whereabouts of Khan Badshah, a missing person and resident of Waziristan, by April 23, 2014, reports The Express Tribune. When the hearing started in the court of Justice Ibadur Rahman, petitioner’s counsel Sardar Taufiq Asif expressed dissatisfaction over the failure of the spymasters to appear in person and brought the issue to the court’s notice. “Every time, assurances are given, but no developments have been made for the last year,” he informed the court. Deputy Attorney General Tariq Khokhar replied that a commission is already working on missing persons’ case. The court, however, questioned the status of the commission and asked under which law the commission was set up and to what extent it can implement its decisions. “The commission’s job is to give recommendations,” the court said. The court also asked the Punjab IG about progress made in the investigation. The IG informed the court that a team led by a superintendent and under the supervision of the Rawalpindi city police officer is investigating.

Two convicted terrorists, identified as Mohammed Aqeel alias Dr Usman and Arshad Mehrban, were hanged at the Faisalabad District Jail on December 19 after prison officials received their death warrants, reports Daily Times. Aqeel was a former member of the Army’s Medical Corps and was among the seven people convicted for their role in the attack on Army Headquarters in Rawalpindi on October 10, 2009. Mehrban had been convicted for his involvement in the attack on former President Genera (retd.) Pervez Musharraf on December 25, 2003 in Rawalpindi District. Security had been tightened at Faisalabad’s central and district prisons ahead of the executions. The black warrant for Dr Usman was signed by Army Chief General Raheel Sharif on December 18, 2014. The Government gave the go-ahead to all Inspector General's to execute 22 prisoners on death row for terrorism-related acts. An official said prison chiefs have been asked to further proceed with the 22 cases cleared by the Interior Ministry for execution. “With the addition of these prisoners, the number of those to be executed has now reached 85,” the official said. The mercy pleas of the 22 prisoners were rejected by then President Pervez Musharraf. “The law wing of the Interior Ministry is now looking into 378 more such cases,” the official added.

A three-member review board of the Lahore High Court (LHC) dismissed the Provincial Government’s application on December 22 seeking an extension of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) leader Malik Ishaq’s detention, reports The Express Tribune. Ishaq has been detained for the past six months. The Home Department detained him on July 4, 2014 under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) law for inciting violence through hate speech. After 90 days the Provincial Government produced Ishaq before the LHC’s review board and asked for an extension of 90 days. As the extension is about to expire, the Government once again produced him before the review board requesting an extension. The request was denied as the Government failed to provide reasonable justification for the extension of detention.

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on December 23 gave the last opportunity to the Foreign Affairs Ministry to submit its reply on a petition challenging United States (US) act of announcing bounty on Jama'at-ud Dawa (JuD) 'chief' Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and his deputy, Hafiz Abdur Rehman Makki, reports Dawn. Deputy Attorney General stated the Ministry had sought details of the matter from the US State Department and their response was awaited.

Justice Masood Abid Naqvi adjourned hearing till February 26, 2015, directing the law officer to ensure submission of the reply on the next date. Earlier, the Ministry had told the court that US announcement of bounty on the petitioners (Hafiz Saeed and Makki) was not a binding for Pakistan. The petition was pending adjudication since 2012 when US Under-Secretary of State Wendy Sherman stated that the both JuD leaders carried USD 10 million and USD 3 million head money, respectively. However, the petitioners, through their counsel, submitted the JuD was a charitable organisation and had no nexus with any banned outfit.

Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) 'commander' and the mastermind of 2008 Mumbai terror attacks (also known as 26/11) Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi was arrested on December 30 in 2008 kidnapping case of Anwar Khan who refused Lakhvi to join him in jihad (holy war), reports The Express Tribune. His arrest was made a day after Islamabad High Court (IHC) had suspended his detention order. The complainant in the case is one Muhammad Dawood who said that his brother-in-law, Anwar Khan was kidnapped by Lakhvi and his accomplices when he refused to join jihad, and is missing since then. The complainant had not reported to the Police when the incident took place because he alleged that Lakhvi had threatened that he would kill Anwar if he registered a case. According to details, Lakhvi was granted bail on December 18, 2014 by an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) but was immediately detained by the Islamabad administration under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO). Subsequently, he challenged his detention in the IHC, which on December 29, 2014 granted him conditional bail against surety bonds of PKR 1 million. Hours after he was released from the high-security Adiala jail in Rawalpindi District, Lakhvi was arrested by the capital Police for his alleged involvement in a kidnapping case registered with the Golra Police Station. Shortly after his arrest, he was presented before a Duty Magistrate, Malik Aman, who sent him on a two-day physical remand. However, Lakhvi's lawyer, Rizwan Abbasi, opposed a physical remand of his client, saying it was surprising that the FIR of an alleged abduction was lodged more than six year after the incident. “It is not written anywhere in the FIR that Anwar Khan was forcibly picked up,” he argued. “Wherever he [Anwar Khan] went, he went on his own choosing,” the lawyer said, adding that Lakhvi was arrested in a concocted case The judge sent Lakhvi on a two-day physical remand and directed the Police to present him before the court on January 1, 2015.
