ISLAMABAD, Oct 20 (APP): The District & Sessions Court of Islamabad on Monday granted more time to the defence for preparing an appeal against the charges framed in the controversial tweet case involving lawyer and activist Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chatha.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka heard the case.
During the hearing, Advocate Qaiser Imam appeared on behalf of Imaan Mazari. He informed the court that the defence intended to file an appeal against the charges framed earlier and requested time to prepare it.
Accepting the plea, the court allowed additional time for preparation and adjourned further proceedings till October 24.
The case was registered by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) against Imaan Mazari and Hadi Ali Chatha in connection with a social media post considered controversial by the authorities. The court will resume proceedings later this month to hear the appeal once it is filed.
