Following the mysterious disappearance of an Indian engineer from his home in Saudi Arabia over two weeks ago, his wife Parveen filed a habeus corpus with SC seeking respite.
Following the mysterious disappearance of an Indian engineer from his home in Saudi Arabia over two weeks ago, the Supreme Court has issued a showcause notice to four states including Delhi and Karnataka, the external affairs and home ministries, and National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).
A bench consisting of justices KS Radhakrishnan and JS Khehar sought their response by June 1 when the petition of Nikhat Parveen, 22, wife of the missing engineer, Fasih Mahmood, 28, will come up for hearing.
On May 13, Mahmood was said to have been taken away from his home in Jubail, Damman, by a group of Indian and Arab men in civil dress after they conducted a search and seized a laptop and a mobile phone.
His wife, Nikhat Perveen, was held in a room by an Arab woman.
While leaving, they informed her that Mahmood would be deported as he was wanted in India. Parveen alleged that Mahmood, who hails from Darbhanga in Bihar, was picked up for alleged terror links.
Avocate Naushad Ahmad Khan, appearing for Parveen, pleaded that the court should direct the government to reveal the whereabouts of Mahmood.
Earlier, Parveen had appealed to several authorities, but to no avail.
First, she approached the Indian embassy in Saudi Arabia. When they failed to respond, Parveen, who had married Mahmood in September last year and joined him in Saudi Arabia in March, returned to India on May 15. Next, she approached the external affairs and home ministries. When they denied having detained her husband, Parveen filed a habeus corpus with SC seeking respite.
