LAHORE: The police on Friday arrested a man, convicted for marrying without first wife’s permission, from the Lahore High Court (LHC) premises.
The convict-Ghulam Rasool- had come to the LHC for filing an appeal against his conviction but he was arrested by the police.
A single LHC bench will hear the appeal of the convict next week. The convict had pleaded with the court to set aside the sentence.
In December 2021, a trial court handed down six months imprisonment to the convict for solemnising a second marriage without the consent of his first wife. However, the convict could not be arrested as he managed to escape from the court premises.
