Lahore: The Anti-Terrorism Court in Lahore has summoned lawyers for final arguments in the honey trap case involving writer Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar.
During the hearing, Judge Arshad Javed considered the bail application of the accused, Mamnoon Haider, who allegedly abducted Khalil-ur-Rehman through a honey trap. The accused’s lawyer requested a postponement of the hearing due to prior commitments, which the court granted, rescheduling it for October 5.
The petitioner argued that he has no connection to the Khalil-ur-Rehman honey trap case and was implicated solely because he is friends with the accused. He stated that the police have yet to present any solid evidence against him, and keeping him in jail without any crime committed violates basic human rights. The court was requested to approve the bail and order the release of the accused. Subsequently, the court summoned the case’s lawyers for final arguments.
