Ikramul Haq, a convicted terrorist belonging to Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), was hanged till death at Kot Lakhpat Central Jail in provincial capital Lahore on January 17 (today), reported Dawn. He was accused of killing a Shia man, identified as Nayyar Abbas, at an Imambargah in Shorkot area of Jhang District in 2001. Haq was scheduled to be hung earlier on January 8, 2014 but the execution was delayed at the eleventh hour after an agreement between the plaintiff and the defendant was produced before the magistrate. Later, the condemned prisoner and the plaintiff parties were asked to approach the Anti-Terrorism Court for confirmation of the agreement, pardoning Haq. Out of eight family members of the deceased Abbas, only his two brothers and a sister appeared before the judge, hence the court refused to accept the agreement and upheld its decision of death sentence to the convict. So far, a total of 19 terrorists have been hanged. These include, a total of seven in the year 2014 (two on December 19, four on December 21, one on December 30).

The Islamabad High Court on March 9 upheld the death sentence of Malik Mumtaz Qadri, the killer of former Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer, and struck down terrorism charges, reports Daily Times. Qadri was a bodyguard of Taseer and was convicted of shooting him dead in Islamabad on January 4, 2011. Anti-Terrorism Court handed down double death sentences for murder and terrorism to Qadri in late 2011. He appealed the sentences, but IHC upheld the murder sentence - though it struck down the sentence for terrorism. Judges Noorul Haq Qureshi and Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui dismissed the appeal over the murder charge. But they also set aside Qadri’s conviction on terrorism charges, which means it is highly unlikely he will be sent to the gallows any time soon. Qadri’s lawyer Mian Nazeer said they had not yet decided about appealing the Supreme Court, but were pleased with the ruling on the terrorism charges. “We have got relief by this decision. Charges against Qadri under provision seven of Anti-Terrorism Act have been dropped,” Nazeer said.

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on March 26 ordered the Punjab Government to make a decision regarding the detention of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) 'commander' and mastermind of Mumbai 2008 terror attack (also known as 26/11) Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi within five days, reports Dawn.

He had adopted the stance that his detention was illegal and in contempt of Islamabad High Court's (IHC) ruling. The application also said that the Punjab Home Secretary should be bound to end his detention. The petition sought the court's direction for the Punjab home secretary to decide the matter of Lakhvi's detention in the light of an order, earlier passed by IHC. The IHC on March 13, 2015, had set aside third-time detention of Lakhvi and ordered the authorities to release him immediately.

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on April 7 directed the Punjab Government to produce sensitive reports regarding Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) 'commander' and mastermind of Mumbai 2008 terror attacks (also known as 26/11) Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, reports Dawn. The court was hearing petition of Lakhvi challenging his fourth one-month detention ordered by the Okara District Coordination Officer (DCO) on March 14, 2015. Advocate Raja Rizwan Abbasi argued that the petitioner, in light of court’s direction, had filed a representation with the Home Secretary against his detention. However, he said, the secretary dismissed the representation and upheld the 30-day detention order issued by the Okara DCO. The counsel pleaded that a person could not be detained beyond 90 days without obtaining an order from review board. A provincial review board comprises judges of the high court. He pointed out that the trial court had released the petitioner on bail in December 2014, however, the Islamabad District Magistrate issued detention order against him. Later, he said, Islamabad High Court had set aside the petitioner’s detention and ordered the government to release him. However, another detention order was issued by the Okara DCO and the petitioner was not released, the counsel added. He asked the court to strike down the impugned order and order the government to release the petitioner. The court directed the government’s counsel to submit record of secret documents about activities of Lakhvi on April 9, 2015.

The Lahore High Court on April 9 dismissed the detention orders of Lashkar-e-Taiba 'commander' and mastermind of Mumbai 2008 terror (also known as 26/11) attacks Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, and ordered his release, reports Dawn. The court was hearing a petition of Lakhvi challenging his fourth one-month detention ordered by the Okara District Coordination Officer (DCO) on March 14, 2015. The Punjab Government had previously maintained the stance that Lakhvi has been detained based on 'sensitive information' provided by Intelligence Agencies. Justice Anwarul Haq had directed the government's counsel to submit records of the information to the court, which was also presented in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on which the IHC had ordered Lakhvi's bail. The court upheld the stance that if this sensitive information was reliable, the IHC would not have accepted Lakhvi's bail. Therefore, the LHC ordered Lakhvi's release based on the lack of reliability of the sensitive information provided and directed the accused to pay PKR 20 lakhs in surety bonds to Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi District.

An insider in the Punjab Advocate General office said that the draft of the appeal has been prepared and it will be filed in the SC within a couple of days.

The Federal Government on May 9 submitted an amended appeal against Islamabad High Court’s decision to drop terrorism charges against Malik Mumtaz Qadri, a former police guard who murdered Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer in Islamabad in 2011, reports The Express Tribune. The Federal Ministry of Interior, through Advocate on Record (AoR) Siddique Khan Baloch, filed an eight-page appeal under Article 185(3) of the Constitution, contending that Qadri’s acquittal under Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) 1997 was not in accordance with the law. “The high court was not right to acquit the convict under Section 7(a) by not appropriately considering the peculiar features of the case, in which the governor of a province, holding constitutional office was murdered mercilessly in a busy commercial area in broad daylight by a person (deputed officially as a security guard) to save and secure the life of the governor,” reads the Interior Ministry’s appeal. It argues that Taseer had “particular views on national issues due to which different religious and political groups were propagating against him and threats to murder him were also issued.”

In a bid to curb terror financing, the Punjab Government booked a number of banned organisations for illegally collecting funds from the public in different Districts of the Province, reported Dawn on July 30 (today). The cases have been registered against Al-Rasheed Trust (Maymar Trust) and Al-Rehmat Trust in Multan, Ansarul Ummah, Sipa-i-Sahaba and Tehreek-e-Ghulbai-e-Islam in Bahawalpur and Jaish-e-Muhammad in Gujranwala. The accused involved in illegal collection of funds have been arrested and investigations are in progress. The two-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Justice Jawwad S. Khawaja had taken up a case relating to activities of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). The matter cropped up during the June 23, 2015, hearing of a bail application of Haroonur Rashid who had been booked for alleged fraud in a business transaction. During the case, it emerged that the parties involved had invested in a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa-based NGO ‘Baraan’ which was registered in Peshawar but had spread its activities to Tank, Bannu and D.I. Khan. Consequently, the apex court asked for information about the steps the Government had taken after December 24, 2014, the day the National Action Plan (NAP) was prepared. A voluminous report submitted by Additional Advocate General of Punjab Razzaq A. Mirza on July 29 said the provincial Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) was strictly monitoring activities of outlawed organisations and hardcore militants, including those mentioned in the Fourth Schedule of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) 1997, as well as their facilitators involved in raising and possessing funds for terrorism. According to the report, the CTD has arrested a gang of 12 people found collecting funds for Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) and Al-Rehmat Trust and confiscated ‘Jihadi’ literature and books. It said the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Punjab had also launched a crackdown on Hundi and Hawala operators across the Province.
