Court reserves verdict on Maham’s bail plea in Khadija torture case

August 26, 2022 12:29 PM


A court in Faisalabad on Friday reserved its verdict on the bail petition filed by Maham, a suspect in medical student Khadija Mehmood torture case, reported 24NewsHD TV channel. 

The court will now pronounce the decision on Monday (August 29, 2022).   

Earlier, counsel for Khadija raised the objection that the case did not fall in the jurisdiction of the court. 

He was of the view that only a special court could hear the cases like rape and bail in such cases. “Section 376 has been inserted in the case. Therefore, the court is not authorized to hear it,” he argued. 

Only yesterday (Thursday, August 25, 2022), a court in Faisalabad had granted pre-arrest bail to Ana Ali Sheikh, daughter of main accused Sheikh Danish Ali in the medical student torture case until September 3.

Ana was herself present in the court as Additional District and Sessions Judge Haider Ali heard her application and announced his verdict.

A few days ago, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) had granted a four-day protective bail, for a surety bond of Rs25,000, to Ana Ali Sheikh in the case. 

Last week, influential businessman Sheikh Danish Ali along with five other men had allegedly abducted, tortured and sexually assaulted Khadija in Faisalabad.
