A full bench of Lahore High Court will announce its verdict today on an appeal of Punjab government challenging the single bench order of making Model Town tragedy's report public. The bench comprising Justice Abid Aziz Sheikh, Justice Syed Shahbaz Ali Rizvi and Justice Qazi Muhammad Amin Ahmad had reserved the verdict on November 24 last. A single bench comprising Justice Sayyed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi on September 21 had ordered home secretary Punjab to public the report and also provided a copy to the victims' families.
At least 14 people died and 85 others were injured when clash erupted between Police and PAT workers at Minhajul Quran Secretariat in June 2014.
