Faiz Hameed Case Pakistan’s Test of Military Accountability

The case of Faiz Hameed marks a historic moment for Pakistan’s military accountability

Because he is the first head of ISI to face a Field General Court Martial it has captured wide attention

Hameed was arrested in August 2024 over allegations linked to the Top City housing scheme and violations of the Pakistan Army Act  

He is accused of misusing authority engaging in political activity violating the Official Secrets Act and causing financial loss to the housing society owner

The Top City controversy dates to May 2017 when security forces raided the offices and residence of the housing society owner seizing gold diamonds cash and records  

The petitioner claimed that Hameed later promised some valuables would be returned but withheld 400 tolas of gold and Rs 4 crore in cash  

The Supreme Court described the allegations as extremely serious and ordered a probe by relevant authorities in November 2023  

Following that inquiry a military committee began a court martial process in August 2024 under the Pakistan Army Act  

Three retired officers close to Hameed were also arrested as part of ongoing investigations on instigating instability in collusion with political interests  

In December 2024 Faiz Hameed was formally indicted on multiple counts including political engagement misuse of power Official Secrets Act violations and his alleged role in the May 9 2023 unrest against military installations  

This case raises deep questions about military neutrality internal discipline and civil‑military dynamics

If the charges are proven unresolved it could fortify the army’s accountability mechanism but if dismissed it may fuel critics who see political motives in the actions

Either way the outcome may define Pakistan’s institutional credibility and set a precedent for holding powerful figures to account
