Karachi (July 17, 2018): The ATC reserved the verdict on the bail application submitted by Anwar’s counsel in a case pertaining to illegal possession of explosives as Khan’s counsel in the lower court, Advocate Salahuddin Panhwar reiterated his client’s lack of confidence and requested for a delay in further hearings until the SHC ruled on the transfer petition.
Upon the court’s dismissal of his request, Panhwar boycotted the hearing.
After boycotting the proceeding, he alleged that the court had not implemented his requests that showed that the court has become biased.
“We will approach Supreme Court against the ATC decisions,” he announced.
Earlier in a written statement submitted in an anti-terrorism court in Karachi, father of Naqeebullah Mehsud expressed reservations on the court’s ability to act impartially in the case against former SSP Malir Rao Anwar.
Mohammad Khan’s statement, submitted through his counsel Faisal Siddiqui, details his lack of confidence in the ATC to impart justice in the fake encounter case against Anwar. Seeking adjournment of hearings, Khan has requested the special case to be transferred to the Sindh High Court (SHC) under Section 526 of the Criminal Procedure Code “(CrPC).
It is pertinent to note that the ATC had earlier approved bail pleas submitted by Anwar in the kidnapping and murder case of Naqeebullah and others.
