Rights lawyers Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chattha have expressed their no-trust in Additional District and Sessions Judge Afzal Majoka and filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) seeking transfer of the case of controversial tweets to any other court, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
In the petition filed on Friday, Advocates Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chattha said that Judge Afzal Majoka failed to meet transparency criteria.
The branch of the Islamabad High Court mentioned the dairy number on the petition.
Earlier on December 4, 2025, the district and sessions court of Islamabad delivered its reserved decision, rejecting a set of three petitions linked to the ongoing trial of lawyer and activist Iman Mazari and advocate Hadi Ali Chattha.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka announced the verdict after hearing arguments from all sides.
The court turned down Mazari’s request for acquittal and dismissed the joint petitions filed by Mazari and Chattha seeking a fresh cross-examination of witnesses and challenging the appointment of the state counsel.
