KARACHI: The Supreme Court (SC) Karachi Registry has released the verdict regarding the cancellation of bail of an accused Adil Zaman in Mureed Abbas murder case, ARY News reported on Friday.
The apex court stated in its verdict that Adil Zaman was present alongside Khizer Hayat and Atif Zaman on the crime scene in accordance with the statements of eyewitnesses including Umar Rehan and Usama. Moreover, the witnesses had also identified Adil.
It added that the records have proven that weapon used to murder Mureed Abbas was also belonging to Adil. The evidence against Adil Zaman as co-suspect in the murder case were enough, however, the matters should be separately dealt for misuse of his release on bail and the presence of solid evidence.

The Supreme Court (SC) stated that the observation of the Sindh High Court (SHC) was contrary to the available evidence as important facts were neglected while approving Adil’s bail.

Earlier on September 10, a three-judge bench, hearing a plea seeking the cancellation of Adil’s bail at the SC’s Karachi registry, had ordered police to arrest the accused and send him behind bars at once.
The Supreme Court had revoked the bail granted to Adil Zaman, the co-accused in anchorperson Mureed Abbas’ murder case.
