ISLAMABAD: The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Friday rejected the post-arrest bail applications of four lawyers arrested for storming into the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Feb 8. ATC Judge Raja Jawad Abbas Hassan dismissed the bail applications of advocates Naveed Hayat Malik, Chaudhry Zafar Ali Warraich, Nazia Bibi and Sheikh Mohammad Shoaib.
The detained lawyers in their petition maintained that the First Information Report (FIR) registered against them in connection with the Feb 8 incident was totally false, fabricated, concocted and baseless.
The petition said the four lawyers were innocent and the case should be further probed. “Moreover, sections alleged in the FIR are not attracted against present petitioners.”
