PAT challenges Model Town case in Lahore High Court

PAT has challenged the Model Town case in the Lahore High Court. According to the spokesperson of the party, the write petition has been filed in the court by the PAT lawyers namely Rai Bashir Advocate and Qamar Ashfaq Chaudhry Advocate. The party has maintained in the petition that neither can separate challans be filed nor separate indictment can be imposed in the same case. This step is against the Article 13 of the Constitution and clause 265 of CPC. Naeem-ud-Din Chaudhry Advocate and Muhammad Nasir Advocate are members of the PAT panel.

The spokesperson said that our lawyers have prayed to the High Court to restrain the anti-terrorism court from carrying out separate trial in the same case and all challans of the incidents should be collected. He said that we are fighting legal battle for justice, adding that we entertain reservations on the proceedings of the case in the anti-terrorism court. He said that the same people are being subjected to different trials in the same case, which contravenes laws. He said that we would not let justice be killed, adding that heirs of martyrs of Model Town await justice for their loved ones. He said that if requirements of justice are not met, it will lead to horrible consequences.
