ISLAMABAD: Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani on Monday detached himself from hearing trial against OSD Additional District and Sessions Judge (ADSJ) Raja Khurram Ali Khan and his wife in 10-year old maid Tayyaba’s torture case.
Accused Counsel Raja Rizwan Abbasi during the course of proceeding requested Justice Kayani to detach himself from the trial as he was also holding a departmental inquiry against his client and termed it against the norms of justice.
Justice Mohsin while accepting Abbasi’s request sent the case back to IHC Chief Justice Muhammad Anwar Khan Kasi for the formation of a new bench which could hold the trial on the matter.
