"Are you interested in continuation of proceeding of the case or not?" the judge questioned. "Three years have passed but either the accused or lawyers remain absent (in the hearing). But the court held responsible for the delay," the judge said. The court adjourned hearing of the case until June 13 due to absence of the lawyers.
The counsels of accused cross-examined prosecution witness and Judicial Magistrate Kaleemullah in the previous hearing. Judicial Magistrate Kaleemullah had conducted the identification parade of the accused. The court has already declared nine accused of the case including the founder of MQM as proclaimed offenders.
