Ifikhar Ali’s wife told the media, “We have three children and their father has been taken to Pakistan.” Iftikhar Ali worked in Jammu and Kashmir Police for 26 years, then how did he become Pakistani now?
What did the High Court say?
On 29 April, the family filed a petition in the Jammu and Kashmir High Court demanding a stay on such action. The court said, “Applicants should neither be called nor forced to leave Jammu and Kashmir.”
Justice Rahul Bharti also ordered the Deputy Commissioner of Poonch to file an affidavit about the status of the property of the petitioners.
