A copy of this letter was also endorsed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan, who ordered it to be registered as a human right case and notices were issued to the law officers of the Federation and the Provinces. On 8-3-1993 the Court ordered Mr. Abdul Ghafoor Mangi, Additional Advocate-General, Sindh, to report within a month as to whether a criminal case has been registered or not with regard to the death of Ehsan Ahmed Ansari.

2. Pointed out that actions permissible under law have been taken and case has been registered against the accused, but they are absconding and all efforts have been made through several agencies for their arrest.
