"Fiftyfour defence personnel of 1965 and 1971 wars including one from the BSF are believed to be in Pakistan.
"However, Pakistan does not acknowledge the presence of any such personnel in its custody...Government has been repeatedly taking up the matter with the Pakistan government," Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said.
In a written reply with the list of the names of the missing 54 personnel, he said in June 2007, a delegation of 14 relatives of missing defence personnel had visited 10 jails in Pakistan but could not conclusively confirm the physical presence of any missing defence personnel.
The High Court had in December 2011 passed an order in this respect, he said.
