By Muhammad Ejaz Khan
QUETTA: The Balochistan High Court (BHC) on Wednesday ordered the registration of an FIR against former president Pervez Musharraf, former prime minister Shaukat Aziz, former Balochistan chief minister Jam Yousuf and others in the murder case of Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti.
A single bench of the BHC,comprising Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Essa, issued the order after hearing the case on the registration of the FIR in the Akbar Bugti murder case. The court issued directives to the Dera Bugti SHO to register an FIR against the offenders, including Musharraf, Shaukat Aziz, Jam Yousuf and former home minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao.
Except Advocate Mansoor Shah, who was representing former interior minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao, no one appeared before the court to represent the other accused. Mansoor Shah informed the court that those who conducted the operation in Dera Bugti had not been under the command of the then-interior minister.
The former Balochistan home minister, who appeared before the court in person, said he had approached two lawyers but they did not respond positively. He said that the former president and the whole system at that time were responsible for the assassination of Nawab Akbar Bugti. He affirmed that the operation was neither conducted on his directives nor was he part of it in any way. He, however, termed the killing of Nawab Bugti a big tragedy.
Later, the court directed the Dera Bugti SHO to register a case. Only former Balochistan governor Owais Ahmed Ghani was spared. Later, the court approved the petition for hearing and issued notices to the accused and the federal and provincial officials to appear before the court on Thursday.
APP adds: Nawabzada Jamil Bugti, son of late Nawab Bugti, said that orders for lodging an FIR against the nominated persons was a first step, adding that he would wait for investigation.
He said he would not go to Dera Bugti to register the FIR against the nominated persons, adding ìit is a no-go area for our family members.” He said they would seek help of forensic teams from abroad and examination of the body would be carried out under the supervision of the international human rights organisations.
