Karachi: A Pakistan court has constituted a one-man commission to trace the properties and other belongings of Pakistan’s founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah and his sister Fatima Jinnah.
Following the order of the Sindh High Court (SHC), the commission was constituted on Tuesday under the chairmanship of retired Justice Faheem Ahmed Siddiqui. The court had passed the order during the hearing of a 50-year-old case related to properties including shares, jewelry, vehicles, and money in the bank accounts of Jinnah and his sister.
Jinnah died in September 1948, a year after the establishment of Pakistan. Fatima died in Karachi in 1967. A bench of the SHC headed by Justice Zulfiqar Ahmed Khan, during the hearing, observed that all the listed valuables and properties of the siblings, which are apparently missing, are yet to be traced.
Several other items, which were mentioned in the earlier report, were missing in the latest list prepared. This petition was filed by Hussain Waliji, a relative of Fatima.
