Court turns down Sufi’s case transfer plea bys KP government

PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Friday dismissed the petition filed by the provincial government seeking the transfer of a case against Tanzeem-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi chief Sufi Muhammad from Timergara to Peshawar.

A single bench headed by PHC Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan turned down the petition to transfer the case being heard at the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) at Timergara in Lower Dir.

DAG Rafique Mohmand submitted that proceedings were being conducted at the ATC in Timergara, but Sufi Mohammad was imprisoned at the Central Prison Peshawar as his other cases were being heard at this jail due to security reasons.The court rejected the plea and observed that it was the duty of the government to produce an accused in the court of law.
