The prosecution asked for a 6-day physical remand of Ali Wazir at the start of the hearing. What has changed in the three days since the physical remand? said Judge Raja Jawad Abbas. Ali Wazir needs more investigation, according to the prosecutor, and physical detention. First, the administrative judge requested information on the legal obligation that was brought before the judge. Regarding the judge’s obligations, the prosecutor stayed silent.
The regulations were read in court on the attorney’s behalf by the on-call judge. He inquired as to how many days Ali Wazir had already been imprisoned. The duty judge can give physical remand and then he can also send the defendant to judicial remand, the lawyer informed the court, adding that Ali Wazir has been on remand for five days already, is being treated in a poor manner, and there is no bathroom facility.
The administrative judge questioned why the session judges were being hauled before him given that the anti-terrorism court judges had just returned from vacation the day before yesterday. The Chairman responded to PTI’s request for bail by asking, “Why are they bringing me? I’m not the duty judge of ATC.” Instead of writing, “I am Ali Wazir,” the prosecution wrote this time, “The accused is cunning and cunning.”
