KARACHI: The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) has outright rejected the order of the Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) Anti-Terrorist Court against Jang Group Editor-in-Chief Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman.
Talking to this correspondent on Sunday, SCBA President Fazal Abbasi said that the decision had been rejected keeping in view the legal requirements and judicial process. Since it is a matter of court jurisdiction and basic rights, a strategy will be formed against it in the SCBA meeting, he added. He said a deliberate attempt had been made to damage the popularity of Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman through the decision.
He added that since it was a matter of severe violation of basic rights, it would also be discussed. A meeting of the SCBA’s Executive Committee is also scheduled in which a strategy will be evolved on the travesty shown by the court. http://www.thenews.com.pk/PrintEdition.aspx?ID=34438&Cat=13&dt=12/1/2014
