SHC transfers Naqeebullah murder case to another court

KARACHI (92 News) – The Sindh High Court on Monday ordered to transfer the Naqeebullah murder case against former Malir SSP Rao Anwaar to another anti-terrorism court. On the complaint of Naqeebullah’s father, the court ordered to transfer both cases to another court. His father had expressed mistrust in the judge hearing the case. The SHC chief justice asked Rao Anwaar’s lawyer whether it was appropriate to amend the order twice in a day. Counsel for Naqeebullah’s father contended that they had filed a petition against the bail of the accused and no notice was issued in this regard. The SHC CJP remarked that he will look into that matter, which should be kept separate. The prosecutor also admitted that the observation of the ATC judge was not appropriate. “You have nothing to defend your client,” the prosecutor quoted the judge as saying.
