Islamabad: Miscellaneous applications seeking an early hearing of sentence suspension petitions filed by convicted lawyers Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chattha in the controversial tweets case have been moved before the Islamabad High Court.
The applications, filed through Advocates Faisal Siddiqui and Zainab Janjua, submitted that the sentence suspension petitions were fixed for hearing on July 24, during which the prosecution had raised objections to their maintainability.
The petitions stated that the court had since dismissed the prosecution’s objections regarding maintainability. The applicants requested the court to fix the sentence suspension petitions for hearing during the week commencing July 27 so that the matter could be decided at the earliest.
