A Law Ministry consultant, Arif Chaudhry, on Tuesday examined the record of former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s murder trial and sentence at the record room of the Lahore High Court.
Chaudhry and other ministry officials went through the 73-page verdict, 40 witness statements, the FIR, supplementary statements, 53 pages of handwritten statements by Bhutto and the letters of attorney submitted by Bhutto’s counsel Yahya Bakhtiar, Ghulam Ali Memon and DM Awan and state counsel M Anwar, MA Rehman, Ijaz Batalvi and Farooq Bedar. The inspection team photocopied the documents that it would produce before the Supreme Court to plead a presidential reference to re-open the case.
