LHC posts ATC judge as OSD after Azhar court order
The Lahore High Court has posted District and Sessions Judge Sardar Muhammad Akram Khan as an officer on special duty days after he refused to extend Hammad Azhar’s physical custody.
The Lahore High Court made ATC administrative judge Sardar Muhammad Akram Khan an officer on special duty (OSD).
An Oct 28 LHC notification ordered him to relinquish charge by Oct 29; he stays OSD at Lahore district courts with sessions-judge benefits.
On the previous Tuesday he refused police a further physical remand for PTI leader Hammad Azhar in the Jinnah House attack case tied to the May 9 riots, and sent him to jail on judicial remand.
He had taken charge of ATC No 4 on Aug 31 and earlier served as a banking court judge in Sialkot.
