Faiz Hameed
A Commission of Inquiry (CoI) has summoned former lieutenant general (rtd) Faiz Hameed next week to record his statement in Faizabad Dharna Inquiry Commission, via the Ministry of Defence.

Sources further claimed that Faiz Hameed has been asked to record his statement before the commission next week.

‘Faiz Hameed has been summoned by the Faizabad Dharna Commission for the second time,” sources said.

Earlier, a Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) five-member judge Friday issued notice to the former chief of the country’s top spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) director general Lt Gen (rtd) Faiz Hameed, in a case of dismissal of ex-IHC judge Shaukat Siddique.

Supreme Court Chief Justice of Pakistan (SCP) Qazi Faez Isa issued notice to former spymaster Lt Gen (rtd) Faiz Hameed and others allowing responding to serious allegations leveled by the Shaukat Siddique.

The SC five-member bench heard the case and also issued notices to former IHC chief justice Anwar Kasi, Supreme Court ex-registrar Arbab Arif, and Brig Irfan Ramay.

Chief Justice Isa remarked that the court heard the name of General (rtd) Qamar Javed Bajwa, but Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui had not directly spoken about Bajwa, so the notice was issued to retired COAS.

Earlier, former judge of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui filed a miscellaneous application with the Supreme Court along with the case related to his dismissal from office.

The former judge has requested to make former army chief Gen (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa and former ISI head Faiz Hameed parties in the case related to his suspension.

A five-member Supreme Court bench, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa, and comprising Justice Aminuddin, Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhel, Justice Hassan Azhar Rizvi, and Justice Irfan Saadat, on Thursday heard an appeal against the suspension of Justice Siddiqui from office.

The army chief's statement came as he visited Jinnah House and an army installation in Lahore, which were blatantly attacked and vandalised by “politically motivated” rioters, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a handout. The COAS was also given a briefing on events of May 9 dubbed by the military as ‘Black Day’ — the day when Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters ransacked and torched military installations across the country following the arrest of their leader Imran Khan in a graft case.
