Lahore’s anti-terrorism court has summoned the head of Joint investigation team (JIT) made on May 9 cases. The hearing on applications for interim-bail in May 9 cases was held in Lahore’s anti-terrorism court. Former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry, Azam Swati and others appeared before the court. Judge Arshad Javed remarked that the hearing on interim-bail pleas of all accused would be held jointly. Judge also inquired why the head of JIT didn’t appear before the court if JIT had been formed in these cases. Fawad Chaudhry informed the court that he wasn’t accused of May 9 and he had no link with alleged meeting of May 7 for conspiracy. Chaudhry highlighted that he just tweeted in May that if judicial orders were not enacted it would be disaster for the country. Consequently, the court adjourned the case hearing summoning JIT head in May 9 cases.
