An anti-terrorism court (ATC), set up at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, on Wednesday appointed a state counsel in the case filed against human rights lawyer Imaan Mazari and her husband Hadi Ali Chattha for removing barriers and interfering in official duty.
The advocate general had submitted a list of five lawyers to the court.
Advocate Aimal Khan Mandokhel represented the couple in the court.
ATC judge Tahir Abbas Sipra heard the case.
The defence lawyers prayed to the court to adjourn the hearing.
The court, however, disposed of the plea, asking the lawyers to cross-examine the witnesses since they were present on the occasion.
Advocate Mandokhel said that senior counsel Riasat Ali Azad, who was not present at that time, would do the cross-examination.
Following the defence lawyers’ refusal to cross-examine, the court appointed a state counsel.
Later, the court adjourned the case’s hearing until tomorrow (October 22).
