ISLAMABAD; In a high-profile hearing at the District and Sessions Court in Islamabad, Additional District & Sessions Judge (ADSJ) Muhammad Afzal Mujowka took a serious step in a pending murder case, issuing arrest warrants for AC City, Maheen Hasan. The warrants were ordered after she repeatedly failed to appear in court to record her testimony.
The judge’s remarks underscored the gravity of the situation: “The AC has shown deep disrespect—publicize this fact,” he noted, signaling his frustration with her lack of cooperation.
This case gained prominence when Maheen Hasan, in her capacity as Assistant Commissioner, was summoned as a key witness. The testimony had become overdue, causing delays in the proceedings. Her absence even as court summons sounded raised significant concerns about potential obstruction of justice.
By ordering the arrest, Judge Mujowka made it clear that court mandates are not optional, regardless of one’s official rank. This development adds a new dimension to the case, raising questions about accountability and the handling of official witnesses within Pakistan’s legal system.
