The ten-year-old girl was recovered by police from Additional Sessions Judge Raja Khurram’s house in Islamabad last week.

In her statement to the magistrate Tayyaba said that she was beaten up by judge’s wife for losing a broom. She added that she often survived on only one meal a day and slept in a storeroom.
In a move which shocked many, the matter was settled out of court and, according to the child’s father, the parents had forgiven the actions in the way of the Almighty.
This led to Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Saqib Nisar taking suo moto notice of the case and summoning Tayyaba’s parents along with police officials at the first hearing of the case on Friday (January 6).
However, since the suo motu notice on last Thursday, Tayyaba and her father had gone missing.
