FCCP seeks investigation report, case progress details in triple murder case

ISLAMABAD, Mar 10 (APP): The Federal Constitutional Court of Pakistan on Tuesday sought the investigation report and details regarding the progress of a triple murder case during its hearing.

A two-member bench headed by Justice Hasan Azhar Rizvi heard the case.

During the proceedings, counsel for the accused, Gabriel Francis, argued that the court had not accepted a new report submitted by DSP Sirajuddin Lashari.

According to him, the report had declared some of the accused innocent.

At this, Justice Hasan Azhar Rizvi remarked that in Sindh the investigation of every such case was assigned to Sirajuddin Lashari.

He further observed that all 13 accused had been nominated in the FIR and the court could not provide protection to those accused of killing three people. The judge also remarked that some of the accused in the case were absconders.

Counsel Gabriel Francis informed the court that his three clients were currently in jail. Justice Rizvi then asked how far the trial had progressed and whether the court had framed charges against the accused.

The counsel requested time from the court, stating that if granted time he would submit the charge sheet, challan and other relevant documents.

The court directed the counsel to produce the relevant judicial record at the next hearing and adjourned further proceedings of the case.
