The petition, filed by Rana Ilmuddin Ghazi, stated that the government was planning to shift Davis from Kot Lakhpat prison to Adiyala jail which would make Davis’ handover to the United States easier.
The petition requested the court to issue a directive to block the transfer.
During the hearing, Chief Justice Lahore High Court Ijaz Chaudhry said that the government had not issued any notification regarding transferring Davis to Adiyala jail. He rejected the petition and said such applications waste the time of the court.
Earlier on Thursday, a sessions court rejected Davis’ claim that he enjoyed diplomatic immunity and decided to go ahead with his trial.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Mohammad Youssuf Aujla, who is hearing the double murder case against Mr Davis in Kot Lakhpat jail, rejected his plea to postpone the trial till a decision on the immunity issue.
“As the accused has not appended required documents with his earlier application, his plea for immunity is rejected,” Asad Manzoor Butt, counsel for the complainants, quoted the judge as having said.thefaultlines.com
i think if the Govt try to to hand over the davis to the US then it will be the most embarrassing saga for the whole nation.
whole nation.
Davis is responsible for the murder of the two innocent Pakistanis and he was possessing illegal weapons.So it would be prudent if the Govt the Govt not try to pressurize the courts regarding Davis case -The Govt should allow the courts to decide the Davis case under the pakistani law.
