ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) on Monday dismissed the bail plea of a chicken thief and ordered the trial court to give the verdict in the case within three months.
According to details, a two-judge bench headed by Justice Musheer Alam, heard a case pertaining to bail plea of chicken thief Mohammad Zahid.
During the hearing, Advocate General (AG) Islamabad told the apex court that the suspect was convicted in four cases.
“Dispenser, LCDs, computers and jewellery were recovered from the suspect”, told the AG.
Justice Qazi Faiz Essa inquired the suspect’s lawyer regarding his profession. To this, the lawyer responded that his client was a labourer. Justice Qazi lashed out at the lawyer and asked him rhetorically if the police had any enmity with his client.
Justice Essa asserted that “news was initially about the theft of chicken and was published in the newspaper. People often get shocked when they see such news however things turn out to be quite different when case opens and details emerge.”
Later, the top court dismissed bail plea of suspect Mohammad Rizwan and ordered the trial court to wrap up the case within three months.
