According to the details, the court fixed the date of February, 10 to indict the leader of Istehkam Pakistan Party (IPP). Fawad's lawyer Qaiser Imam and Mirza Asim Baig appeared in court for hearing.
Judge Mohammad Sohail stated that the charge sheet will be started today (Saturday), while the lawyer Qaiser Imam said that I have taken the case just now, time is needed to go through the file.
Meanwhile, a plea was filed by Fawad to appear in the court without handcuffs and his lawyer argued that Fawad is a lawyer of the Supreme Court (SC) and he has been a minister, so he should not be handcuffed, the judge said that do all these things make Fawad above the rest of the prisoners?
The lawyer said that Fawad Chaudhry sometimes presented with his face covered and sometimes with handcuffs, he is on media headlines these days, all this is done to humiliate him, handcuffs are used for humiliation in the subcontinent.
On this, the judge said that I will look into the matter and pass an adequate order.
