| Lawyers help college ex-head flee court |
| 2016-07-15 |
| [DAWN] LAHORE: A group of lawyers on Wednesday acted as a shield for their client, former principal of a government college, facing embezzlement charges and did not allow personnel of police and Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) to arrest him after a judge of the Lahore High Court dismissed his bail petition. Zahid Butt, former principal of Government Science College, Wahdat Road, had filed a petition seeking bail in case of financial embezzlement in college’s accounts. Justice Shams Mahmood Mirza heard the arguments of the suspect’s counsel and dismissed the petition. Personnel of police and ACE already present in the court followed the suspect and tried to arrest him. However, a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... lawyers surrounded suspect Zahid Butt and did not let the personnel catch him claiming that such arrests could not be made on the court premises. The lawyers also scuffled with the personnel and managed escape for their client. |
