Story summary
In ISLAMABAD, an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) postponed the indictment against lawyers Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir and her husband Hadi Ali Chattha due to a power outage. The case, registered at Aabpara Police Station, accuses them of disrupting the security route of an international cricket team and inciting public unrest. During Wednesday’s hearing, prosecutor Raja Naveed appeared while junior lawyers represented the accused in place of their busy lead counsel who were attending proceedings at the High Court. Despite having received copies of the challan and signed powers of attorney, Judge Tahir Abbas Sipra noted that meetings between junior lawyers and their clients were restricted by court rules. The ATC plans to proceed with framing charges on Wednesday but was delayed due to these logistical issues.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
