1 There is no doubt about the highest standards of fair and free independent supreme judiciary of Pakistan in order to deliver justice to the aggrieved, maintain Rules of Law and establish supremacy of the constitution in the interest of the nation.
2 .Psychological survey was conducted by Psychology Department of Quaid –E- Azam University ,I which a hundred relatives of missing persons were interviewed and filled up forms. The result of their assessment found out that all are psychologically unfit suffering from anxiety depression and different psychic ailments caused by the agony, pain and mental torture of this traumatic ordeal .The irreparable damage is caused to the psychological, emotional and physical well-being of the family members. What to say about those abducted and lying in underground torture cells in inhuman conditions like our detained missing loved ones. Many examples are there in which those returned from illegal custody were hardly normal. One of such detainee was dumped on a pile of garbage in an unconscious traumatized condition on the day of his release. Saud Memon was once a top garment businessman of Karachi, but within 20 days of his release he expired of brain TB ,Bone and lung TB, meningitis, Hepatitis B, C and mental disorder. He could not recognize his wife and 5 kids, weighing only 18 kg , suffered illegal confinement for 6 years and died in Coma , without uttering a single word ,as to what happened to him.
3 The grief of a separated loved one is so immense and tragic that we hardly realize or mention our financial agonies. However the fact remains that we have survived on loans and through graciousness of our family , friends and supporters . The bread earners are picked and not a single penny is ever offered by the government to meet there daily expenses in sheer devastation . Therefore the government must be pressurized to meet the monthly expenses of all the families of enforced disappearances. The compensation recommended by the commission of enquiry for enforced disappearances must also be approved and delivered to the victim families as it is also a proof of enforced disappearances as well as a penalty regarding the illegal acts of the authorities responsible.
4 Freezing order to be passed by the Supreme Court That no enforced disappearance will happen after a cut-off date, for example 10 Feb 2011 .If done the head of that agency will be called in person to explain in the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The relevant Chief will be required to sit during the court proceedings and this illegal act when proven will be considered a contempt of the Honorable Court.
5 U.N charter of enforced disappearance 2006 to be ratified and in forced by the Parliament of Pakistan.
6 As far as the hearing procedure is concerned. Three days a week cases should be heard. One day for chronic cases, second day for crystal clear cases of plenty of evidence, third day for all the rest. They should be dealt on 20 cases per day basis.
7 The government should make Amina Masood Janjua part of their high profile meetings regarding Missing Persons in the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Interior. This will keep the aggrieved and the Courts in picture as to what level the hectic efforts are being taken by the Government, to trace the Missing Citizens of Pakistan. It will also
ensure the committed dedication of the relevant Quarters.
8 The Supreme Court should order to register FIR against confirmed personal of Agencies or any other authorities nominated in the illegal abductions of the honorable citizens without following the due process of Law. For example; Col Habib Ullah and many others in the case of Masood Janjua, and there are a lot many other cases too in which state functionaries are found involved and have been nominated by name.
9 All the proceedings of the honorable Supreme Court regarding the illegal abductions of Pakistani Nationals by the state functionaries, institutes and forces, (who are otherwise responsible for the safety and security of the valuable citizens) will be discouraging these violations of Human Rights and would be a great pressure in itself in conveying a clear message to the perpetrators of this heinous crime that its high time they have to act in accordance with law. No torture and inhuman acts, illegal abductions, secret detentions ,renditions or unlawful arrests will be tolerated in Pakistan ever.
Thanking the Honorable Supreme Court with utmost confidence and high hopes.

Yes. The right person must be included in the higher level of Government and Judiciary meetings to trace and release the missing persons. I believe Mrs. Amina Masood Janjua is right person who can address the cases of missing persons and present them in better way more than any one.
