Execution: Death warrants issued

LAHORE: A district and sessions judge on Thursday issued death warrants for a prisoner on death row. The judge ordered the execution of Zulifqar on February 3 at Kot Lakhpat Jail.    The court passed the order while accepting an application moved by the Kot Lakhpat Jail superintendent. The superintendent had requested the court to issue death warrants for Zulifqar as his appeals had been rejected by the president. A sessions court had awarded death penalty to Zulifqar for killing Pervaiz in 1995 in Vehari.
