The case related to the murder of the television presenter Mureed Abbas and another person allegedly by his business partner took another turn on Monday, with an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Karachi that ruled that the case did not fit the meaning of "terrorism." .<\/p>\n
Judge ATC-I transferred the case to the Southern District session court to carry out the trial of a detained suspect, Atif Zaman, in the double murder.<\/p>\n
Police had reserved and arrested Zaman for allegedly killing his two business partners, Abbas and Khizar Hayat, in Khayaban-i-Bukhari, DHA, on the night of July 9.<\/p>\n
Previously, judicial magistrate (south) Abdul Raqeeb Tunio had referred the case to the administrative judge of the anti-terrorism courts on August 20 for a new trial, noting that the matter was in the field of terrorism.<\/p>\n
The magistrate had accepted the charge sheet presented by the investigating officer, who had incorporated Section 7 (punishment for acts of terrorism) of the Counter-Terrorism Act of 1997, in addition to the murder charge.<\/p>\n
On Monday, the ATC judge delivered his verdict on an application submitted by Atif Zaman seeking the transfer of the case to the court of sessions.<\/p>\n
The judge ruled that the motive behind the murder, according to the FIR, appeared to be a dispute between the parties because of an investment of the deceased with the suspect. He also stated that the incident did not cause any sense of terror in society and, therefore, did not fall within the meaning of terrorism.<\/p>\n
The judge allowed the suspect's request to transfer the case to the court of sessions in question.<\/p>\n
Two cases were filed against him at the Darakhshan police station, one under Section 302 (premeditated murder) of the Pakistan Criminal Code read with Section 7 of the ATA, 1997, about a complaint by Abbas's wife, and the another for trying to commit suicide. . <\/p>\n
Separately, the police have also filed a weapons case against him.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/pre>\n<\/pre>\n
