ATC extends judicial remand of Khadija Shah

Lahore: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore extended the judicial remand of PTI activist Khadija Shah, and others in the Jinnah House attack case on Thursday.

Sanam Javed, Ms. Shah, and other individuals were brought before the ATC court after his judicial remand ended today. The court ordered police to re-present the defendant on July 31 while extending her judicial remand for an additional 11 days.

Daughter of former finance minister Dr. Salman Shah and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activist Khadija Shah is presently detained on judicial remand.

Due to her dual citizenship, the daughter of the former finance minister was given consular access at the request of the US.

Salman Shah's daughter and fashion designer Khadija were arrested by police last month in connection with the attack on the Jinnah House.

Earlier, Anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Monday sent Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) women wing leader Khadija Shah on 14-day judicial remand in a case of burning Askari Tower.

After hearing the case, administrative judge Abhar Gul directed her to reappear on July 31.

Earlier, the ATC’s special court had discarded pleas of women involved in May 9 attack including Tayyaba Raja and Robina Khan.

The Sarwar Road police had registered a case against the accused women under different sections, including 7ATA.

It is pertinent to mention that the ATC Judge on July 3 had also extended 14 days judicial remand of accused Khadija Shah in a case of setting ablaze the Askari Towers and spreading chaos following former PM Imran Khan's arrest.

Jail authorities had produced the accused before the court after her judicial remand had expired.

However, the ATC judge extended her judicial remand and directed police to submit a challan before the court.
