Aleema Khan verdict deferred again as ATC judge is on leave

The Aleema Khan case verdict, reserved over the 26 November 2024 protest, has been deferred until 16 October because the judge is away on a training course.

The Anti-Terrorism Court postponed its reserved verdict against Aleema Khan for the third time, to 16 October.

Court staff said the judge is on leave to attend a specialised training course.

The case, registered at Sadiqabad Police Station in Rawalpindi, concerns the 26 November 2024 PTI protest, violence and an alleged conspiracy.

Cross-examination of 19 prosecution witnesses is complete, and the court heard miscellaneous applications filed for her.

She was earlier detained in Lahore for 30 days under the MPO and taken to Kot Lakhpat Jail ahead of a 27 September PTI protest.
