The Acting CJP observed that in the recent past it has been widely publicized in the media, particularly the print that more than 600 children have been abducted from the Province of Punjab, approximately 300 from Lahore alone.
That it has been highlighted that such abductions are orchestrated with the nefarious object of extracting vital body organs of the abductees; while another attribution is for the sexual abuse and/or beggary etc.

The Acting Chief Justice further observed that it was violative of the fundamental rights especially of life, liberty, safety and free movement and undoubtedly was of great public importance and "thus the matter calls for cognizance within the purview of Article 184(3) of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1073". The Acting Chief Justice issued notice to Inspector General of Police, Punjab with direction to depute some high ranking police officer to provide details of such incidents (if any).The court also directed the Advocate General, Punjab to place the matter before the Court at Lahore Registry on July 28.
