PAKISTAN: COURT CLERK SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR LAWYER'S MURDER

June 11, 2025:

A Dera Ghazi Khan court clerk has been sentenced to death and fined Rs600,000 after being found guilty of murdering a junior lawyer within the premises of the district court.
District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Abbas announced the verdict on June 9, 2025, concluding a five-month trial in which the accused, Rehmatullah, was convicted of fatally stabbing junior lawyer Saddam Hussain and injuring another lawyer, Akhtar Hussain Lashari, during a violent incident on December 28, 2024.
The attack occurred inside the District Courts complex. Saddam Hussain, the brother of Advocate Tajammul Shabbir, died at the scene.
Advocate Akhtar Hussain sustained injuries in the assault.
Fellow lawyers managed to overpower Rehmatullah on the spot and handed him over to Civil Lines Police.
The case was registered based on a complaint filed by the victim's uncle, Advocate Hafiz Ashiq Hussain.
Police completed their investigation and submitted the charge sheet without delay. The trial was conducted under the supervision of Judge Abbas with the prosecution led by Shamshad Ahmed Qureshi.
After hearing the case, the court sentenced Rehmatullah to death for murder and imposed a fine of Rs500,000 in compensation to the victim's family.
For the injury caused to Advocate Akhtar Hussain, the convict received a five-year prison term and an additional Rs100,000 in compensation.
Failure to pay the fine will result in six more months of imprisonment.
Following the verdict, Rehmatullah was transferred to Central Jail.
