An Islamabad district and sessions court on Monday extended the interim bail of accused Sameena Shah in the Sarah Inam murder case, in which her son Shahnawaz Amir is the prime suspect.
Additional Meetings After hearing the case, Judge Sheikh Sohail extended Sameena Shah’s pre-arrest interim bail until October 7.
At the request of the father of slain Sarah Inam, the court adjourned the case until Friday.
Sarah’s father, Engineer Inamur Rahim, was represented in court by Advocate Rao Abdur Rahim.
Sameena Shah, on the other hand, appeared in court with her lawyer, Arsal Amjad Hashmi.
During the hearing, Advocate Rao Abdur Rahim asked the court to give the opposing party more time so that they could bring whatever they wanted to the court. He also pleaded that he wanted to examine some of the evidence himself.
At his request, the court postponed the case’s hearing until October 7.
The sessions court extended accused Sameena’s bail until October 3 during its most recent hearing on Saturday (today).
Sameena had asked the court in her petition to accept her pre-arrest bail plea due to health concerns. She claimed that the uncle and aunt of her slain daughter-in-law nominated her in Sarah’s murder case.
On September 24, a local court in Islamabad issued arrest warrants for Shahnawaz Amir’s father and mother, who were accused of murdering his Canadian wife with a dumbbell at his farmhouse in Shahzad Town after a row over a “family issue” on Friday.
On Saturday, police arrested his father, journalist Ayaz Amir, and a court granted Ayaz physical remand. However, the court in the case later released Ayaz.
