SIALKOT LYNCHING CASE LINGERING IN ATC: Sialksot lynching case, once a burning issue in the country, is now lingering in an anti-terrorism court where no judge has been available for a month while the district and sessions judge is doing nothing except postponing its hearing. The case has been postponed for the second time till February 2. ATC Judge Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah was transferred a month earlier and no new appointment was made in the court that was delaying justice.
The district and sessions judge, who was temporarily looking after the matters of the ATC, postponed its hearing for the third time for 14 days most probably to wait for the appointment of some permanent judge in the court while lawyers from both the sides and all the accused, including former DPO Waqar Chohan were present in the court only to hear its postponement.
