Falak Javed's bail hearing adjourned

LAHORE:

An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Tuesday adjourned the bail application of PTI activist Falak Javed in the Jinnah House attack case until November 16 after her counsel failed to appear for arguments.

The prosecution also sought more time to produce the case record.

ATC Judge Manzar Ali Gill directed the prosecution to submit the complete case record at the next hearing and asked the defence counsel to conclude arguments on the bail application.

Falak Javed had filed the bail petition from jail.

Her counsel had argued that she was arrested in the case after a delay of three years, maintaining that she was innocent and deserved to be released on bail.

However, the investigating officer maintained that the accused was involved in the attack on Jinnah House.

The case was registered under an FIR at Sarwar Road Police Station.

It accuses PTI leaders of inciting party workers to commit arson and vandalism.
