A division bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday suspended an order of an anti-terrorism court wherein provisions of terrorism were ordered to be removed from Model Town incident case against workers of the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT). The bench suspended the trial court order and restrained it from transferring the case to an ordinary court and sought a reply from the PAT by April 17. The Punjab prosecution department had challenged the decision of the ATC.
Earlier, a deputy prosecutor stated before the bench that the workers of the PAT were involved in attack on police personnel. He said one cop had died during the attack while dozens of others received critical injuries. He said the trial court allowed an application of the PAT and ordered to remove ATA sections from the case.
