Islamabad: On Thursday, a local court in Islamabad fix a date for the indictment of the accused in the Noor Mukadam murder case for October 14, rejecting the accused’s appeal for digital evidence.
Ata Rabbani, an Additional Sessions Judge, presided over the hearing. Zahir Jaffer, the primary accused, and six others were brought before the court.
Zahir informed the court that he wanted to approach the rostrum and speak, saying “I sorry” during the hearing.
The judge informed the accused that he will be heard throughout the trial and directed the police to return him to the Bakshi Khana, a temporary prison camp within the district courts.

The indictment of 12 accused in the murder case had been postponed for a day by the sessions court after the accused submitted new petitions saying they had not been given all of the evidence.
The primary accused, Zahir Zakir Jaffer, his parents, Zakir Jaffer and Ismat Adamjee, the CEO of Therapy Works, Tahir Zahoor, and six other employees were all brought before the court by the police.
The superior judge questioned Zakir about hiring a lawyer at the hearing. “You’ll need a lawyer now that the proof has been revealed.” “Do you have Rizwan Abbasi as your lawyer?” The judge questioned.
“I’m not sure,” Zahir said. “Perhaps my brother has hired one.”
Separately, the parents appealed to the Supreme Court for post-arrest bail after their bail application was denied by the IHC last week. Through their lawyer Khawaja Haris, Zakir and Asmat had filed two different petitions before the Supreme Court.

It’s worth noting that Zahir and Asmat are being held in police custody for “aiding and abetting” their son in Noor Mukadam’s murder.
According to the IHC’s order, the parents were aware that Zahir Jaffer had kidnapped Noor but did not report it to the authorities.
As reported by the court’s verdict, the family’s watchman indicated that he had informed Zakir Jaffar about the situation.
According to the IHC judgment, Zahir Jaffar stated in his statement that he had notified his father before the murder; the trial court will decide whether or not his statement is acceptable.
The court held that evidence of direct assistance in aiding and abetting a crime cannot be applied everywhere.
