A division bench of Sindh High Court (SHC) Friday allowed application filed by Chairman of Mohajir Qaumi Movement-Haqiqi (MQM-H) Afaq Ahmed, seeking permission to argue his case himself. The bench comprising Chief Justice of SHC Justice Mushir Alam and Justice Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi after hearing arguments of the petitioner, granted permission to him to plead his own cases.
The bench also directed the President and Secretary of Sindh High Court Bar Association to assist Afaq in this respect. In his application, Afaq Ahmed had submitted that he was arrested in April 2004 in different cases. He alleged that his lawyers were being intimidated so that they could not appear for his defence in the cases. In view of the circumstances, he maintained, he was entitled to defend himself in the cases.
