ISLAMABAD – February 28 (ONLINE): Leading actor Osman Khalid Butt Monday filed constitutional plea in Supreme Court of Pakistan against the acquittal of slain model Qandeel Baloch’s brother, the main suspect in case.
According to media reports, plea was filed on grounds that High Court’s judgment in this case was ‘Sketchy, Illegal’ and in ‘Contravention with the law’.
The actor moved the petition through his counsel Khadija Siddiqui under Article 184(3) of the Constitution and prayed the apex court to set aside the Lahore High Court’s (LHC’s) judgment that acquitted Muhammad Waseem of Baloch’s murder and restore the trial court’s verdict that declared him a convict.
A model court in Multan had convicted Waseem in 2019 and sentenced him to life imprisonment after finding him guilty of killing Baloch, said to have been murdered in the name of honour. He was acquitted by the LHC earlier this month after serving less than six years in prison.
