Brilliant judgment. Let this be a lesson for those who torture children. Next should be an increased sentence for that arrogant brat who stabbed Khadija.
– Jail sentences for a suspended judge and his wife were increased to three years from one year by the Islamabad High Court in child maid torture case on Monday.
A two-member bench, comprising Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb, rejected the petition filed by former suspended Additional District and Sessions Judge Raja Khurram Ali Khan and his wife Maheen Zafar against one-year conviction awarded by a single bench of the high court in Tayyabad torture case. Besides intensifying the punishment, the court also imposed a fine of Rs500,000 on the convicts.
The decision comes after Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar had ordered on June 4 the high court to decide on the appeals.
Following the verdict, the police took the couple into custody from the courtroom in order to shift them to the jail.
