In the hearing of the July 2021, Noor Muqaddam murder case in the Supreme Court, Justice Hashim Kakar remarked that judges should bear a little pain, it is not possible that they accept the appeal but then don’t hear the case.
Salman Safdar, lawyer for the accused Zahir Jaffer, during the hearing of the Noor Muqaddam murder case in the Supreme Court, informed the court that the complete medical history of the accused from 2013 to date had been presented in the court. The trial court had sentenced him to death for murder, life imprisonment for rape and ten years imprisonment for kidnapping. However, the Islamabad High Court increased the sentence for rape to death.

The initial FIR was registered only on the charge of murder, however, twenty-two days after the incident, the provisions of rape and kidnapping were added. According to the lawyer, the crime scene was the personal house of the accused but no evidence was presented in this regard. Salman Safdar was of the view that there was no eyewitness to the incident and all the evidence is merely circumstantial.
During the hearing, Justice Hashim Kakar remarked that judges should bear a little pain, it is not possible for them to accept the appeal and then not hear the case. He said that there have been instances of people living in the death cells for ten years, now it will not be like this, if the second bench at 11:30 does not break up, then the Noor Muqaddam case will be heard at one o’clock, otherwise the hearing will be held first.

Salman Safdar also referred to the Judge Arshad Malik video scandal case, on which Justice Hashim Kakar said that if we now rely on parameters, then even standing in the Kaaba it will also be difficult to prove anything. The court took a break during the hearing and indicated that the verdict will be announced today after hearing all the parties. Justice Hashim Kakar said that if relief is possible, we will give it, otherwise we will continue with the punishment.
