An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Monday sent another lawyer to jail on judicial remand. The court also sought arguments from the prosecution on the bail petitions filed by three other attacking lawyers. The Islamabad police produced the Young Lawyers Forum President Shoaib Gujjar in the court of ATC judge Raja Jawwad Abbas Hassan after which the court ordered to send the suspect to jail for a week on judicial remand. The judge also deferred hearing on bail petitions of three other accused advocates Liaquat Manzoor Kamboh, Khalid Mehmood and Muhammad Umar until Tuesday (today). The court sought details of the case against the accused. Furthermore, the ATC issued orders to release two lawyers, Zafar Ali Waraich and Shoaib Shaikh. The judge ordered the release of the lawyers on the basis of a report presented by the police department, which stated that no evidence was found against them.
