Islamabad:
The Supreme Court will listen to the appeal against the death sentence of Zahir Jaffer in the case of murder of Noor Mukadam on May 13, according to a list of causes that arose on Sunday.
Noor, 27, was found murdered in a residence in the exclusive sector F-7/4 of Islamabad on July 20, 2021. A first information report (FIR) was recorded later on the same day against Zahir Jaffer, who was arrested from the murder site.

The personnel of their home, Iftikhar and Jameel, coacusado in the case, were sentenced to 10 years in prison, while all the other suspects, including Jaffer’s parents and therapyWorks employees, were acquitted.
According to the list of causes available on the website of the Pakistan Supreme Court, “the hearing on the appeal against Jaffer’s death sentence will take place on May 13”. Judge Hashim Kakar will lead a bank of three members, which includes the justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim and Judge Ali Baqar Najafi, who will listen to the case.
