Model Town case: LHC extends stay till March 7

The Lahore High Court on Wednesday extended stay against summons of a trial court issued to Punjab's former IG police Mushtaq Sukhera till March 07 in a private complaint of Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) in Model Town killings' case as counsel of PAT failed to appear before the court. The bench expressed its dismay over his non-appearance and extended stay.
Sukhera through his counsel had pleaded that the summons were issued on the basis of false information provided to the trial court. He had nothing to do with the alleged incident while the PAT filed the private complaint before the ATC with a delay of 21 months. The ATC had summoned 127 suspects including Sukhera, former DIG operations, former DCO Lahore and others after allowing the private complaint of the PAT.
