CJP offers apology over delay of justice to murder convict

Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa has ordered the immediate release of a man scheduled to be set free six years ago.
Advocate Ahmad Shuja Butt, the convict’s lawyer, told the appellate bench that Mohammad Akram, a resident of Khanewal who was convicted in 1997 of murder, was still in jail six years after the reconciliation of both parties.

Justice Isa offered an apology for the Apex Court’s inability to serve justice.
In its order, the five-member Shariat appellate bench stated that the conclusion took time to reach due to the lack of proper assistance.
