Agencies don’t consider themselves accountable before courts: PHC
PESHAWAR: Chief Justice of Peshawar High Court (PHC) Dost Muhammad Khan, while hearing the missing persons’ case, remarked that agencies consider themselves above the judiciary, Geo News reported Thursday.

While hearing the missing persons’ case at PHC today, the Chief Justice ordered the deputy attorney general to present the heads of the intelligence agencies in the court.

He remarked that the agencies consider themselves superior than judicial authority and that is why they don’t consider themselves accountable.

Moreover, CJ Dost Muhammad Khan said that it is time to issue verdict of the sensitive cases.
