Earlier, the important development in the case of threatening the Election Commission took place when the police challenged the decision to reject the physical remand of Fawad Chaudhry. The case of threatening the Election Commission was heard in the District and Sessions Court Islamabad in which Fawad Chaudhry was presented in the court.
The police filed an appeal against the decision before the Sessions Judge and requested that the decision of Judicial Magistrate Waqas Ahmed Raja be annulled and further physical remand of Fawad Chaudhry be given.
The prosecutor said that we have to do photogrammetry tests and recoveries, practically we got a one-day remand and the investigation could not be completed.
The court allowed the appeal of the police and ordered Fawad Chaudhry to be produced again before the magistrate for physical remand. On which Fawad Chaudhry was presented before the magistrate.
The District and Sessions Court annulled the decision of the Judicial Magistrate not to grant Fawad Chaudhry’s physical remand and to grant judicial remand. The session judge said that the decision of the magistrate not to remand him was not legally correct.
