The Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday summoned Director-General of the National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) over his failure to implement the court orders in a case pertaining to targeted killing of the Hazara community.

The court also sought response from him over the matter of restoring bank accounts of those missing persons who have been recovered.

The apex court issued these orders while hearing a suo motu case pertaining to the targeted killing of the Hazara community. Headed by Chief Justice Gulzar Ahamd, a three-member bench of the SC heard the case.
Counsel for the missing person reminded the court that it had directed restoration of bank accounts and payment of salaries of those who were recovered. The NACTA however said that their names were not explicitly identified.

The chief justice said that all the details were mentioned in the court's order, asking the NACTA how it could not disobey the court.

In January this year, 11 coal miners from the Shia-Hazara community were kidnapped by armed militants and killed in the Mach area of Balochistan. The abductors took the coal miners to a nearby area and then opened fire.

Police had reported that six of the miners died at the spot while five were critically wounded and died on the way to a hospital.
