The Sindh High Court on Thursday accepted the bail pleas of convicts in the Sarfraz Shah murder case. Per details, the Pakistan Rangers soldier sentenced to death for murdering a civilian in cold blood appealed against the punishment awarded, while the remaining convicts, including Afsar Khan who handed over Sarfraz to Rangers troops in the park, have appealed against their life imprisonment.
The court sentenced them a few days ago. Earlier, their pleas to carry out their case’s proceedings as normal without invoking the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) were rejected before conviction. The three lawyers for the convicts would plead again that their clients could not be sentenced under the ATA. The SHC is yet to set a date for hearing the bail pleas.
