US flags concern on human rights violations in Pak

US flags concern on human rights violations in Pak

TNN | May 5, 2016, 07.05 AM IST

SHINGTON: The US has said it is concerned about the allegations of gross violations of human rights in Pakistan by its security forces during its counterterrorism operations.
"We have seen the reports of his (a local Pakistan leader's) death while in military custody, and we would direct you to the Pakistanis for any further information on the events surrounding his death," State Department spokesperson Elizabeth Trudeau told PTI.
She was responding to a question on the death of Mutahidda Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Aftab Ahmed, who died in the custody of Rangers paramilitary force under controversial circumstances.
MQM has accused Pakistan rangers of extrajudicial killings. According to a Dawn report, Director General (DG) Rangers Maj Gen Bilal Akber on Tuesday accepted that the MQM leader was tortured by Rangers in custody, but maintained that he died due to a heart attack.
"Even as Pakistan undertakes difficult and important counterterrorism operations on its territory, the United States remains concerned about allegations of gross violations of human rights in Pakistan," Trudeau said.
"Indeed, we consistently discuss these concerns with the government of Pakistan, in both civilian and military channels, as part of our ongoing dialogue on counterterrorism and security cooperation," she said.
"That dialogue, including at the highest levels, emphasises that any excessive or extrajudicial use of force or breaches in due process and the rule of law ultimately undermines Pakistan's democracy and long-term counterterrorism efforts," Trudeau said.
Last week in a memorandum to the State Department and US lawmakers, MQM alleged that the Pakistani Army and its paramilitary Rangers are conducting atrocities against Mujahir community in Karachi.
"Since the formation of MQM in 1984, over 20,000 of its workers and supporters (mostly ethnic Mujahirs) have been brutally murdered by the Pakistan Army and other law enforcement agencies," it said.

The memorandum titled "SOS" was accompanied with a fact sheet report about extrajudicial killing, arrest and missing workers in Karachi since 2013. Copies of the memorandum along with the report was also presented to members of the powerful House Foreign Affairs Committee by members of MQM US during a Congressional hearing on Afghanistan and Pakistan at the Capitol Hill yesterday.
"Since 2013, thousands of MQM workers have been arrested and tortured by paramilitary rangers, dozens have been extrajudicially murdered and hundreds have disappeared while their whereabouts are still unknown," the memorandum said.

An non-compoundable offences cannot be permitted to be compounded by the Court, whether directly or indirectly.

The Supreme Court of India on 23-11-2010, in the matter of Gian Singh v. State of Punjab & Another held that the Court must maintain the judicial restrain and should not do indirectly such thing which can not be done directly.

In these decisions, this Court has indirectly permitted compounding of non-compoundable offences. Section 320, Cr.P.C. mentions certain offences as compoundable, certain other offences as compoundable with the permission of the Court, and the other offences as non-compoundable vide Section 320(7). Section 420, IPC is a compoundable offence with permission of the Court in view of Section 320, Cr.P.C. but Section 120B IPC is a non-compoundable offence. Section 120B(criminal conspiracy) is a separate offence and since it is a non-compoundable offence, the court cannot permit it to be compounded. The Court cannot amend the statute and must maintain judicial restraint in this connection. The Courts should not try to take over the function of the Parliament or executive. It is the legislature alone which can amend Section 320 Cr.P.C. The Court opined that something which cannot be done directly cannot be done indirectly. An non-compoundable offences cannot be permitted to be compounded by the Court, whether directly or indirectly.

However, successor(s) of intestate deceased person is/are entitled to inherit the deceased person’s property (ies).

As per Section 370 of Indian Succession Act, when the deceased person has left a validly executed “Will”, the entire estate of the deceased person under that “will” vests on the executor of the will and in such cases “Succession Certificate” cannot be granted.
