LAHORE: Punjab Special Prosecutor Syed Farhad Ali Shah said that the Home Department has issued a notification according to which trail of May 9 cases will be conducted in jail.
Farhad Ali Shah said: “Jinnah House trial will be completed in one to one and a half months.”
Farhad Ali said that the challan has been submitted to the court.
According to the notification Askari Tower, Shadman police station, the trial of arson and siege cases will also be held in the jail.
Justice Ali Baqir Najfi of the Lahore High Court (LHC) Monday directed Punjab government prosecutors to apprise the court in the Khadijah Shah case after taking directions from the government.
The petitioner through a lawyer pleaded she was unduly implicated in the May 9 riots incidents and Gulberg police station had illegally involved her in the case against the facts.
“The Anti-Terrorism Court dismissed the bail by ignoring the facts,” Khadija Shah pleaded via her lawyer in the provincial apex court.
Earlier, LHC conditionally dismissed the register’s objections to Khadija Shah’s bail plea. The court decided to remove the objectionable documents from the bail application and dismissed the objection.
Earlier, in a recent development, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Saturday ordered the release of prominent Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activist, Sanam Javed Khan, and eight other party members in connection with the Jinnah House attack case.
This decision comes after a series of legal proceedings surrounding the incident that took place earlier this year.
ATC Judge Arshad Javed, presiding over the case, announced the verdict, granting bail to the nine suspects implicated in the Jinnah House attack.
The court approved their bail pleas against surety bonds worth Rs 0.1 million each, paving the way for their release.
