BB murder case: Saud Aziz, Khurram Shahzad’s acquittal plea rejected

Updated at: 1339 PST,  Saturday, October 15, 2011  RAWALPINDI: The Trial Court has rejected the appeals filed by former Rawalpindi police chief, Saud Aziz and SP Rawal Town, Khurram Shahzad for their acquittal in the former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto murder case, while in this very case the details of the confiscated assets of proclaimed offender General (retd.) Pervez Musharraf was handed over to his wife Sehba Musharraf. Earlier, Rawalpindi Anti-Terrorist Court (ATC)-I had heard the appeal of Sehba Musharraf against the confiscation of Pervez Musharraf’s properties in this case and later it was adjourned until October 22 due to prosecution lawyer’s engagements. The defending party was provided with the details of the confiscated assets on the directive of the court on which the defence lawyer raised an objection for its being unconfirmed. Later, the judge of the court went to Adyala Jail and announced his earlier reserved judgment that rejected the police officers Saud Aziz and Khurram Shahzad’s acquittal pleas and also turned down the pleas relating to restraining their indictments in the case. Further hearing of Benazir Bhutto murder case would now be held on October 22.   COMMENT:  LENGTHY PROCESS OF THE CASE SEEMS MAKING THE HONORABLE COURT TO DECLARE THE DECISION DELAYED.
