ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court decided that Tayyaba will stay at Pakistan Sweet Homes, an orphanage, till her parents are identified.
Police on Wednesday took 10-year-old Tayyaba to the Supreme Court. The little girl had changed into a clean pair of clothes, a red hairband holding her hair back-- a stark contrast from the rags she wore when she was first recovered. The wounds on her eye and lip had visibly healed, but a white bandage tightly wrapped her hand.
A man named Azam arrived at the Supreme Court claiming to be Tayyaba's father. He told the CJ that he had three children of which Tayyaba was his eldest.
Druing the proceedings today, the CJ asked Azam when had he sent Tayyaba away for work.
Azam explained in August 2016, his neighbour took Tayyaba away to look for work. She told him that Tayyaba's work involved only babysitting and playing with children. He recognised his child after news channels flashed her injured and bruised pictures.
Elaborating on the out-of-court settlement Azam told the court that the additional judge had asked him to stamp his fingerprint on a paper if he wanted to get back his daughter. “I cannot read or write. I did not know what was written on the paper
Tayyaba's medical report was submitted to the court. According to her medical report, 22 torture marks were found on Tayyaba’s body, including marks from bruises and burns. A wound measuring one square centimetre was also found next to her right eye. The report also stated that the 10-year-old Tayyaba suffers from mental stress but her condition is improving gradually.
