A divisional bench comprising Chief Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb announced the judgment on appeal of the FIA challenging the trial court order.
At the outset of the hearing, Additional Attorney General Sajid Ilyas Bhatti apprised the court that the central authority of Britain had accepted the request of Pakistan to share evidence regarding murder of MQM’s leader.
He also produced the letter of central authority before the court. After this, the bench dismissed the decision of trial court and allowed FIA to collect evidence from Britain.
