The Islamabad High Court has instructed the police and prosecution to provide all the documents, including statements of witnesses, audio and visual evidence, and case challan, in the Noor Mukadam case to the suspects. At a hearing on Wednesday, the counsel of Therapy Works, Asmat Adamjee, and Zakir Jaffer, pointed out that as per the law, copies of the statements recorded before the police and magistrates should be provided to the defense counsel.
Zakir Jaffer, father of Zahir Jaffer – the prime suspect in the Noor Mukadam murder case – has challenged the sessions court s decision to formally charge him for hiding evidence in the crime. Last week, Additional Sessions Judge Atta Rabbani indicted 12 suspects including Zahir, his parents, Zahir’s employees Muhammad Iftikhar, Jameel Ahmed, and Muhammad Jan, and six Therapy Works employees including CEO Tahir Zahoor. In an application submitted in the Islamabad High Court Monday, Zakir Jaffer said that court’s verdict is inappropriate from a legal point of view. The verdict gives an impression that the indictment is a mechanical process and the court thinks that the “charge is.
Asmat Adamjee and Zakir Jaffer, parents of the prime suspect in the Noor Mukadam murder case, approached the Islamabad High Court Wednesday seeking an annulment of the sessions court s decision to indict all the suspects on October 14. The petitioners, along with the suspects, are presently imprisoned at the Adiala Jail. In the petition, Zakir said that he had filed a plea in the sessions court seeking copies of the case challan and other evidence. His wife, Asmat too had requested the court to grant time to her counsel. Both the pleas were rejected.
