A three-member bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice Yahya Afridi heard the case.
Additional Prosecutor General Punjab pleaded for time to submit JIT reports and present arguments over appeals of the accused against cancellation of their bails.
The court granted time to the government to submit its joint investigation reports.
Chief Justice Yahya Afridi said that there are some appeals regarding the transfer of the case, which have become infructuous. The additional prosecutor general said that the ATC Rawalpindi’s judge has been transferred. “There are 11 transfer applications, Rs two lac fine imposed in each”.
“There were remarks against the Prosecutor General Punjab in the decision,” the prosecution lawyer said. As a prosecutor, it is painful when talked about creating obstacles in court proceedings”.
“Why was remorse not felt about sending a reference against the judicial officer,” Justice Shafi Siddiqui questioned. “If this is the matter we will summon the judicial officer to hear his point of view,” Justice Yahya Afridi said.
“The fine could not be canceled without hearing the parties,” the chief justice remarked. “It will be appropriate to get instructions again over the case transfer appeals,” CJP observed.
