ORDER 
 
These matters are pending before this Court since long. 
We had been issuing directions from time to time to the Police 
Department to probe into the matter but so far no satisfactory action 
has been taken. We understand that in the unfortunate incident of Lal 
Masjid/Jamia Hafsa reportedly a large number of people had lost 
their  lives  and  the  property  of  the  Jamia  Hafsa   had   also   been

damaged. There are allegations and counter-allegations by the police 
and the complainant, victims and their relatives but in the absence of 
any concrete evidence and findings, we are of the opinion that it 
would not be possible to finally conclude this matter.  
2. 
 
Therefore, it is decided to appoint a Commission, who 
shall probe into the matter in accordance with the following terms of 
references:- 
  
(i) 
What were the causes of the incident, which 
took place at Lal Masjid-Jamia Hafsa in 
between 2nd July 2007 to 12th July 2007? 
 
(ii) 
How many persons, if any,  male or female, 
civilian 
or 
law 
enforcement 
agencies 
personnel lost their lives?  
 
(iii) 
Whether the dead bodies of all the persons, 
who had lost their lives during the incident, 
were identified and were handed over to the 
legal heirs, after observing the codal 
formalities?  
 
(iv) 
Whether any compensation has been paid to 
the legal heirs of the victims by the State? 
 
(v) 
Whether any action has been taken under the 
law against the persons, who were found 
responsible by the police and if so to what 
effect? 
 
(vi) 
Whether on the basis of the material 
collected, it is possible at this stage to fix the 
responsibility upon the personnel of security 
agencies or other individuals responsible for 
the incident?  
 
(vii) Is there any person(s), male or female, who 
was  reportedly missing during the incident?  
 
 
SMC.9/2007, etc. 
 
 
- 3 -  
 
(viii) Any recommendations other than the points 
noted herein above?  
 
3.

Federal Shariat Court is appointed as Commission. He may follow 
the procedure laid down in the Order XXXII of the Supreme Court
