A single bench of the Sindh High Court (SHC) on Monday adjourned the hearing of the petition filed by the state against the orders of the District and Sessions Judge (East), pertaining to lodging an FIR of the October 18, 2007, twin blasts case on behalf of PPP Chairperson Benazir Bhutto.
The bench comprised Justice Mrs Yasmin Abbassey. Advocate Adnan Karim appeared for the PPP and Additional Advocate General Sindh, Masood A Noorani for the state.
The ADJ (East) had on November 5, 2007, passed the orders directing the SHO of Bahadurabad police station to lodge an FIR of the twin blasts on behalf of the PPP on the application filed by party leader Qaim Ali Shah.
Being dissatisfied with the court orders passed by the ADJ (East), the state, through the advocate general Sindh, moved the SHC submitting that the FIR of the blasts had already been registered on behalf of the state (FIR No 183/2007).
