Kohsar file: Mazari and Chattha cleared for Tuesday bond

An Islamabad ATC judge fixed Rs5,000 surety apiece after officers produced the Kohsar station file accusing the lawyer couple of obstructing duty.

An Islamabad anti-terrorism court on Tuesday allowed release for both lawyers on Rs5,000 surety each.

Judge Abul Hasanat Zulqarnain heard the matter after police placed the Kohsar station record before the bench.

The Kohsar complaint alleges they obstructed officials who were performing their duties.

About a week earlier each received a 10-year term and a Rs100,000 fine in a separate ATA security matter from Aabpara.

They have been held since a 23 January arrest tied to a protest at the Islamabad High Court, with further Peca and rearrest chapters since then.
