In a plea to the court chaired by Justice Naimatullah Phulpoto, the family of a missing person expressed dissatisfaction at the police’s inability to locate the individual, even after numerous years had passed.

The case’s investigating officer informed the court that Raees, the citizen who went missing, had a history of mental illness. “The state still has an obligation to find him even if he is a mental patient. With these justifications, the police could not escape their responsibilities,” the bench said.

Who is going to find the girl who vanished from a bungalow? The investigation will look at a number of things, including if the minor girl has married or whether there is another issue, according to Justice Phulpoto.

The court expressing condolences to the relatives of the missing individuals stated that efforts are on to locate their loved ones.

Additionally, the bench directed the police departments in Steel Town, Mochko, and Super Market to file missing person’s reports.

The federal government and many state organisations were also asked to provide reports on the subject by August 12 by the court.

In a Wednesday hearing on 10 cases involving missing residents, the Sindh High Court voiced its displeasure with the investigation officers’ and other parties’ lack of progress in finding the missing individuals.

Justice Naimatullah Phulpoto said, “Even after 12 years, it has not yet been decided whether the missing persons went by their own or someone took them by force.”

The bench also requested reports from all of the nation’s prisons and detention facilities.

The chief of the joint investigation team (JIT) was also called before the court over the unavailability of efforts to locate a citizen who has been missing for the past 12 years from Karachi’s Ajmer Nagri.

The bench ordered the family of a citizen who has been missing from Karachi’s Mominabad neighbourhood since 2012 to receive financial support.

One of the fifth pillars of Islam is the Hajj, a holy pilgrimage. Millions of Muslims from all over the world journey to Makkah, Saudi Arabia, each year to complete the Hajj.

Every year, at the same time, it occurs in the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar, Dhul Hijjah, which is a holy month. The Hajj starts on the eighth day of Dhul Hijjah and lasts for five to six days, depending on when the moon is visible.

Muslims celebrate Eidul Adha, a four-day festival, when they see the new crescent moon.
