  "summary": "The Islamabad High Court has requested a report from the federal government regarding the disappearance of over 50 Pakistanis who went missing after traveling abroad in the past three years. Justice Arbab Mohammad Tahir issued this notice while hearing a petition filed by Afzal Hussain, a resident of Phalia tehsil in Mandi Bahauddin district. The petitioner's counsel has asked the court to direct the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to initiate consular inquiries in the relevant countries and assist Pakistani embassies and consulates in tracing the missing citizens. The court also seeks an examination of immigration, travel, and other related records to determine how these individuals traveled abroad and establish their current whereabouts. The IHC has adjourned the case until November 2.",
