ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Monday reserved its judgment on an appeal of the prosecution seeking more physical remand of lawyers in the IHC building attack case.
A division bench comprising Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhter Kayani heard the case challenging the decision of Anti Terrorism Court (ATC) rejecting the request for more physical remand.
State Counsel Danial Hassan adopted the stance that a witness had told them that two lawyers Tasadaq Hanif and Hammad Dar had tried to snatch gun from a personnel and prayed the court to grant physical remand for more investigation.
