RAWALPINDI: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Rawalpindi on Monday issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Aleema Khan for the 14th time in connection with the November 26 protest case registered at Sadiqabad police station.
The hearing was conducted by ATC Judge Amjad Ali Shah, who also ordered non-bailable arrest warrants for both guarantors of Aleema Khan.
The court directed authorities to arrest and produce her along with the guarantors before the court on Tuesday, February 24.
The prosecution argued that Aleema Khan was deliberately obstructing trial proceedings and requested the court to revoke her right of cross-examination.
The prosecutor further urged the court to appoint a state counsel to ensure the trial proceeds without delay.
During the hearing, the court expressed strong displeasure over the absence of Aleema Khan and her defense counsel.
Additionally, the two final investigating officers in the case have been summoned to appear as witnesses at the next hearing.
The case pertains to protests held on November 26, for which legal proceedings are ongoing under anti-terrorism laws.
