ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to decide in two weeks the pleas of human rights lawyer Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir and her husband, Hadi Ali Chattha, seeking the suspension of their sentence in the controversial social media posts case.
Until the IHC decides upon the petitions, the matter will remain pending before the apex court, a three-judge SC, consisting of Justice Shahid Waheed, Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan and Justice Shafi Siddiqui, ordered.
During the hearing, the couple’s lawyer, Faisal Siddiqi H, argued that the legal requirements were not met in the trial against his clients.
