SUNDAY TIMES ISLAMABAD:A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Asif Saeed Khan Khosa and comprising Justice Qazi Faez Isa and Justice Mazhar Alam Miankhel will hear the case in Islamabad.
Last year, on Oct 31, a SC bench headed by former chief justice Mian Saqib Nisar set aside the conviction of Asia Bibi, a Christian woman condemned to death for blasphemy. The 56-page verdict overturned the Lahore High Court verdict and directed authorities to release her from prison.
Following her acquittal, protests erupted across the country and continued for three days before being brought to an end with an agreement between the government and demonstrators.
