Lt Gen Faiz Hameed (Retd) Taken into Military Custody Following Court Inquiry
In a significant development within Pakistan’s military and legal spheres, Lt Gen Faiz Hameed (Retd) has been taken into military custody, adhering to directives issued by the Supreme Court of Pakistan. This action comes in response to a detailed court of inquiry conducted by the Pakistan Army, aimed at investigating allegations against the retired general.
The inquiry was launched to address various complaints related to the Top City Case, a matter of considerable public and legal interest. The Pakistan Army, complying with the Supreme Court’s orders, meticulously examined these complaints to determine their validity. As a result of the inquiry’s findings, appropriate disciplinary actions have been initiated against Lt Gen Faiz Hameed (Retd) under the provisions of the Pakistan Army Act.
Furthermore, the investigation uncovered multiple instances where Lt Gen Hameed had allegedly violated the Pakistan Army Act after his retirement. These violations have prompted the initiation of a Field General Court Martial (FGCM) process. This judicial action underscores the severity of the allegations and the commitment of military authorities to uphold discipline and legal standards.
Lt Gen Faiz Hameed (Retd), a prominent figure in Pakistan’s military history, is now facing a comprehensive legal and disciplinary review. The FGCM process will involve a detailed examination of the evidence against him, ensuring that justice is served in accordance with military laws and regulations.
This development highlights the ongoing efforts by Pakistan’s judiciary and military to address grievances and enforce accountability within the armed forces. The outcome of the Field General Court Martial will be closely monitored by both national and international observers, given the high profile of the case and its implications for military governance and legal norms in Pakistan.
