Hamza murder case Prosecutor’s opinion After scrutinising the content of the FIR, the facts and evidence, the district public prosecutor, Abdul Wahid Ansari, objected that proper legal sections had not been applied in the proposed final charge sheet. The prosecutor advised that the offence alleged on the suspects, fully attracts the provision of section 6, sub section (2) (a) (b) of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997, punishable under section 7 and directed him to insert these sections in the FIR. “The Investigation Officer is required to do the needful and submit the report under section 173 of the Criminal Procedure Code before the competent court of law after seeking legal opinion from the special public prosecutor,” stated Ansari. In his scrutiny note, Ansari stated that the act of the suspects created sense of insecurity among people of the vicinity where the offence was committed and destabilised the public at large. The investigation officer, after adding sections of the Anti-Terror Law in the FIR, submitted an application before the judicial magistrate in district south, Noor Muhammad Baloch. He sought the court’s permission to submit the final charge sheet in ATC since the case falls within the jurisdictions of the ATC.
