Const. P. 3157/2026 (D.B.) Hayatullah V/S Province of Sindh & others Sindh High Court

Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan-ul-Karim Memon(Author), Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adnan Iqbal Chaudhry

Since the alleged detenue has appeared before this Court and has unequivocally stated that she is residing with Respondent No.15 voluntarily and is not under illegal confinement, the principal grievance regarding her alleged disappearance no longer survives. However, in view of the disputed questions relating to her age, marital status and other allegations raised by both sides, all such issues shall be determined independently by the competent fora strictly in accordance with law without being influenced by any observations contained in this order, which are purely tentative and confined to the disposal of the present constitutional petition and protection. 12. With the above directions, this petition stands disposed of. The Child Protection Authority shall continue to ensure complete protection of the minor child, Alina, and shall periodically assess her welfare in accordance with the applicable law. It is expected that all concerned authorities shall discharge their statutory obligations with utmost diligence so that the life, dignity, safety and best interests of the child remain fully protected, and no harm is caused to either of the two girls at the hands of any party under any circumstances. Let a copy of this order be communicated to all concerned for compliance in time.
