First Report
Chief Justice Hamoodur Rehman submitted its first report in July 1972 to the Presidential Palace which Bhutto review the report. The commission considered this initial report tentative as it had not been able to interview many key people who were at that time prisoners of war in India. The commission stated "our observations and conclusions regarding the surrender in East Pakistan and other allied matters should be regarded as provisional and subject to modification in the light of the evidence of the Commander, Eastern Command, and his senior officers as and when such evidence becomes available." Initially the commission interviewed 213 people and made 12 copies of report. One of the copies was given to Bhutto and the rest were either destroyed or were stolen.

Till the sad breaking of that Parliament
Broke him, as that dishonest victory
At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
Kill’d with report that old man eloquent;—”
