Lahore High Court Chief Justice Expresses Displeasure Over Unresolved Missing Person Case

Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice Aalia Neelum, presiding over a hearing in a case involving a woman who went missing six years ago, expressed concern over the lack of progress in the investigation. Fouzia Bibi, a 29-year-old woman, was reported missing in May 2019, and despite the lodging of an FIR against her husband and mother-in-law, police have failed to recover her.
