ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered arrest of Shahrukh Jatoi and two co-accused in the Shahzeb murder case after setting aside their acquittal by a trial court and removal of anti-terrorism charges by the Sindh High Court.

Following the hearing, the accused were taken into custody by the Islamabad police after the verdict was read out by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar.

Interestingly, the three-judge special bench, headed by the CJP and comprising Justice Asif Saeed Khosa and Justice Maqbool Baqir also converted the case into a suo motu.

The bench wondered how the Sindh High Court (SHC) overlooked the Supreme Court’s 2013 decision wherein it was mentioned that the case against Shahrukh Jatoi and co-accused should be conducted before Anti-Terrorism Court. Likewise, it also asked accused’s counsel Latif Khosa that why they did not file a review petition against the apex court at that time.

The apex court ordered SHC to hear an initial appeal of the accused against their death sentence by the trial court and decide the matter in two months.

However, the bench did not pass directions on civil society members’ petition, which was filed under Article 185 of the Constitution.

SC has changed our appeal in #ShahzebKhan csse into SuoMoto, has suspended order of SHC removing terrorism charges from case, nullified their bail & ordered their arrest directing SHC to decide the appeal on merits in two months time. Alhumdulillah. Thank you everyone for support

During the hearing the chief justice said that the court has the right to ensure complete justice under Article 187 of the Constitution. He also asked whether a settlement could be acceptable in a terrorism case.

During the hearing, Khosa said that his client was subjected to oppression as he was kept in a death cell for five years and was not even allowed to give his examinations. The counsel also raised objections on the entertaining of the civil society’s petition in this matter. Even the chief justice told him that he has a strong case on the locus standi of the petitioner.

Khosa also stated that there are 15 judgments of Justice Khosa, who declared that such incidents do not fall in the category of terrorism
