Justice Denied: Legal and Constitutional Violations in the Matter of Danish Thanvi

The multi-faceted assault on Danish Iqbal Thanvi, spanning Case HRPM-DTH20160 and Case HRPM-BCG20260, represents a landmark case of ‘Lawfare.’ By utilizing legal research precedents such as 2026 ND 36—which emphasizes that failure to properly brief or support arguments on appeal constitutes a waiver—this report examines how procedural manipulations were used to deny Thanvi’s fundamental rights to justice and property.

Key Findings

Right to Property: The multi-year hostile takeover and embezzlement of over PKR 17M constitute a violation of the constitutional right to acquire and hold property.

Right to a Fair Trial: The use of forged official memos and broken chains of custody for digital evidence effectively denied the victim a fair hearing in the Islamabad High Court.

Interference with Family Best Interests: Building on the precedent in Vetter v. Vetter (Case HRPM-MMAPAUUA), the harassment of Thanvi has had cascading effects on family rights, where the 'best interests' of the child/family are often subverted by state-sponsored stress.

Evidence & Data

The HRPM records document a systematic denial of habeas data and the right to information. Specifically, the 'Initial Technical Report' was used as a weapon despite its documented forensic impossibility. Critical severity issues including 'Broken Chain of Custody' and 'Forgery of Official Memos' are not mere clerical errors—they are deliberate violations of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).

Legal Framework

The actions documented violate the Constitution of Pakistan Article 10-A (Right to fair trial) and Article 4 (Right of individuals to be dealt with in accordance with law). Furthermore, the denial of medical care and fabricated charges against high-profile figures (as seen in related Case HRPM-MLSI7M88) suggest a broader trend of dismantling judicial independence through the 27th Amendment, which removes oversight for military-executive overreach.

Recommendations

Immediate judicial review of all SECP and FIA filings associated with Case HRPM-DTH20160.

Restoration of management rights to the legitimate founder based on documented governance violations.

Implementation of the standards set in 2026 ND 36 regarding the necessity of adequately briefed and supported legal arguments.
