Judge refuses to chair the trial on Mullah Sufi Mohammad in Peshawar

[Irfan Baloch]

Just heard on ARY that the judge who was to hear the proceedings against the Mullah Sawati, the father in law of the dreaded Mullah Fazlullah, has refused or expressed inability to come to the Peshawar jail to conduct the trial on the Mullah.

Mullah Sawati has 11 counts of terrorism charges and is in “protective custody” since the Sawat operation. Maybe the judge and his family has been threatened by the terrorists or he is also the follower of the Mullah sawati just like some civil servants in Sawat who were avid followers of Mullah Sawati and actually facilitated in transporting weapons and giving refuge to the terrorists.

Mullah Sufi Mohammad, first from the right

it could be due to fear.

it is risky for the judge no denying that ,but it would have been called fair if the judge have send his resignation along. He is under oath and refuses to do his job should be sent packing

Such cases should be sent to military courts because civilians judges are rightfully afraid.These pigs can kill anyone.Military Courts can show them the danda.

there were suicide attack threats on the Peshawar Jail as well where Sufi Mohammad's trial is to commence. the Judge gave "personal reasons" for not being able to come to the court specially setup in the prsion for the trial.

At the end of last year his trial was shifted to Swat court which is newly established there called darul qaza and CM was supposed to inaugurate it.
