The petition was filed by MNA Shandana Gulzar under Article 175E(3) of the Constitution, naming the Ministry of Interior, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief secretary and provincial inspector general of police as respondents. The petition raises important constitutional questions regarding the scope and limits of powers exercised under Articles 232, 234 and 245 of the Constitution.
It maintains that these constitutional provisions do not authorise the unlawful detention of any individual. The petitioner has requested the court to order the production of Sohail Afridi, Babar Saleem Swati and Junaid Akbar Khan before it and direct the relevant authorities to immediately disclose their whereabouts and the reasons for their alleged detention.
The petition also seeks directions to ensure that the three leaders are granted access to their lawyers and family members, provided with medical facilities and protected against torture. Shandana Gulzar further contended that actions taken for political purposes amount to an abuse of authority and violate fundamental rights.
