The anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi extended the interim of Sheikh Rashid until January 4 next year in the cases relating to May 9 vandalism.

Judge Malik Ijaz Asif heard Sheikh Rashid’s bail application.

The public prosecutor pleaded with the court that the investigation of these cases is ongoing, so more time should be given.

However, the court expressed its displeasure over not presenting the record of the cases even today and directed to complete the investigation and submit the record by next date.

The court adjourned the hearing of the case till January 4 next year due to the winter vacation of courts.
