LAHORE – Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Yousaf Aoujla on Thursday dismissed an application filed by Raymond Davis that claimed he enjoyed diplomatic immunity and could not be tried in Pakistan.
While dismissing the application, the court said Davis could not produce any document issued by the government which could prove his stance. As per details, the judge continued the hearing against Davis at Kot Lakhpat Jail on Thursday.
Earlier, Syed Zahid Bukhari submitted his power of attorney in the court on behalf of the accused to plead the case and sought the copy of the challan for study, requesting the adjournment of proceedings so that he could prepare the case. The court adjourned proceedings until March 8.
On the other hand, the court extended the judicial remand of Davis in a case of carrying an un-licensed weapon for another 14 days. The accused has so far not submitted surety bonds in court after getting bail from a magistrate on January 28.
