On Friday, the Sindh High Court (SHC) ruled that the 14-year-old girl, who was reported missing from Karachi on April 16, 2022, must temporarily turn over custody.
The matter was heard today by Justice Iqbal Kalhoro of the SHC, and the young girl was also brought before the court.
Justice Kalhoro questioned the girl about her preference for staying with her parents or at the shelter home during the hearing. In response to the judge, the 14-year-old said, “She wants to go to her parent’s home and be with them.”
The parents, Mehdi and Saima Kazmi, were then ordered to post a bond in the amount of Rs. 1 million by the court. However, the trial court will decide who will have the girl’s permanent custody.
