LAHORE: In the Special Federal Court of Customs Taxation and Anti-Smuggling 16 different cases were scheduled on Monday.
No proceeding was made on Monday regarding any case because a number of lawyers and concerned parties were not present in the court. It was the first working day after Eidul Azha so attendance of the staff was also low. It seems just like a holiday in courts. All cases were adjourned without any proceedings because no lawyer and parties had appeared.
Hearing of pre-bail plea of accused Gahnay Khan was also adjourned till next hearing and it was the third time that his bail plea is adjourned. Other pre-arrest bail pleas, including Sheikh Manzoor Hussain, Shahbaz Ahmad, Amir Raza and Imtiaz Khan, were also scheduled on Monday but the court adjourned the same. The court also proceeded on statements of witnesses on four different cases on the day.
The cases, including those of tax evasion, customs, smuggling and narcotics, were scheduled for the day’s hearing.
