Fatima Phurro Case Adjourned Amid Lawyers' Protest

The hearing of the tragic murder case of Fatima Phurro, a child who allegedly died due to violence at Pirani Haveli, Ranipur, has been postponed until February 13.

The session, scheduled at the court of Fourth Additional Sessions Judge Samina Mangi, was disrupted due to ongoing protests by lawyers. Both the plaintiffs’ lawyer Jamshed Dahraj and the defendants’ lawyer Ali Murtaza Shah appeared in court, but proceedings could not continue.

Protests Impact Legal Proceedings

The legal fraternity’s protests have brought judicial activities to a halt, affecting multiple cases, including the highly sensitive Fatima Phurro murder trial.

Judge Samina Mangi ordered both the plaintiffs and the defendants to appear at the next scheduled hearing on February 13.

Public Reaction

Advocates for justice have expressed disappointment over the delay, urging authorities to ensure a swift and uninterrupted legal process for the case that has garnered widespread public attention.
