The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday upheld the death sentence earlier awarded to Zahir Jaffer, who murdered Noor Mukadam in 2021, by a trial court.
A two-member division bench consisting of IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Sardar Ijaz Ishaq Khan rejected Jaffer’s appeal and turned his 25-year jail term into the second death sentence.
Twitterati voiced their opinion about delay in dispensation of justice to Mukadam, but there is a collective sense of relief that justice has finally been dispensed.
