May 9 cases: LHC imposes fine on Punjab govt

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday dismissed several applications filed by the Punjab government, seeking transfer of certain May 9 cases from ATC-1 Rawalpindi to another court, with a fine.

LHC Chief Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmad Khan announced the verdict on the transfer applications filed by the prosecution upon completion of arguments by the parties.

The Punjab prosecution department had filed the applications for the transfer of certain cases from ATC-1 Rawalpindi to another court.

It is pertinent to mention here that on February 11, a Rawalpindi anti-terrorism court granted bail to former prime minister Imran Khan in a dozen cases.
