Sindh High Court rejects state appeal on Mahrang's acquittal
In the SHC Mahrang appeal, the bench held the state's challenge was not maintainable because the FIR complainant was a private individual, not the state.
The Sindh High Court dismissed the provincial government's appeal against Mahrang Baloch's acquittal in a sedition case, calling it non-maintainable.
The bench observed that the FIR complainant was a private individual and asked why the prosecution, not the complainant, had appealed.
A Karachi anti-terrorism court had acquitted Mahrang; the state challenged that order in the SHC in December 2025.
Mahrang remains in Quetta prison in connection with other cases, and her separate conviction challenge is pending before the Balochistan High Court.
