By Adnan Rafique

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Tuesday overturned the Sindh High Court (SHC) order of transferring the Mehar triple murder case to an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC).
A three-member bench of the apex court headed by Justice Mushir Alam announced a reserved verdict on an appeal.
The apex had reserved the judgment on May 29, 2020.
Last year in the month of February, the Sindh High Court (SHC) had ordered hearing of Mehar triple murder case in an anti-terrorism court.
The high court’s Sukkur bench announced its reserved judgment. Last month, Advocate Umme Rubab Chandio had leveled allegations against Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) for protecting the killers of her father and other family members.
