The court should be informed when Dania Shah’s statement is recorded, the report added.
In this regard, the court has adjourned the hearing seeking a progress report from the FIA at the next hearing.
The judicial magistrate (East) in Karachi approved a petition seeking the autopsy of popular televangelist Aamir Liaquat Hussain who was found dead at his residence earlier this month.
The decision, which was reserved this morning, was taken after hearing arguments from all stakeholders concerned.
In its order, the court said that Liaquat’s family — the “heirs of his grave” — have maintained that conducting the anchorperson’s post-mortem would violate the sanctity of his grave.
But the court said that if the death is suspicious and there is a fear that a crime might be committed, then the law will have to take its courts to dig out the hidden facts.
“The police surgeon has stated that the reason behind the death could not be ascertained through an external examination of the body,” the judicial magistrate said.
