The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday accepted Gullu Butt’s, the notorious character of Model Town incident, bail plea for hearing after rejecting the reservations levelled by the Registrar Office.
Butt’s counsel maintained before the court that the police registered a case under terrorism laws against his client under political pressure. The trial court sentenced his client without proper evidence and solid proof, he added.
He urged the court to annul the sentence and move towards acquittal.
