District and Sessions Judge Tahir Abbas Sapra issued a two-page written order regarding the last day’s hearing. The court said that the accused still disappeared despite the repeated summon, adding that the accused had given an application to allow permission for appearance through the video link.
The court order said that as per the defence lawyer Shehbaz Gill was ill and unable to travel back. It further said that the proceeding regarding declaring the accused absconder couldn’t be suspended until the appearance of the accused in a personal capacity.—APP
