Karachi (HRNW) The Sindh government has come out to openly support Shahrukh Jatoi, the prime accused in the murder of Shahzeb Khan, at proceedings in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Shahrukh Jatoi, Siraj Talpur, and two security guards Murtaza Lashari and Sajjad Talpur were convicted of murdering Shahzeb Khan on December 24, 2012, over a petty argument.
On Thursday, a three-member bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan heard the petition against the life imprisonment of Shahrukh Jatoi and others involved in the case. All the accused appeared before the court.
During the proceedings, Sindh Prosecutor General Latif Khosa told the court that Shah Rukh Jatoi has been in jail for eight years despite a reconciliation agreement with the family of the deceased.
He claimed that it was wrong to add terrorism charges in a case involving murder and that a decision of a seven-member Supreme Court bench served as a precedent in this regard.
Khosa said that the family of the deceased have moved to Australia after the settlement.
Justice Mazahir Naqvi asked “where in the law it is written that a reconciliation agreement cannot happen in a case under anti-terrorism charges.
Khasoa replied that if the court declares this, many people will benefit.
