The court directed the Attorney General to consult the Interior and Defence ministries’ secretaries as well as heads of intelligence agencies for the missing persons’ recovery.
The missing persons’ case has dominated court proceedings for more than four years now.
The missing persons’ relatives allege their loved ones were picked up by intelligence agencies and were never produced before the court.
Human rights groups across the country have also been taking out rallies on a regular basis to keep the issue alive.
However, so far very few of the missing persons have been recovered.
The majority of the missing was reported in the Balochistan province during the military operation conducted by former military ruler Pervez Musharraf.
The government has repeatedly assured the relatives of the missing, but nothing has materialised regarding their recovery.
Now the apex court has once again warned top security officials against inaction saying no agency is above the law.
