The judge of the anti-terrorism court conducting the trial of seven Pakistani suspects charged with involvement in the Mumbai attacks has been changed for the fourth time, with the current incumbent being transferred to another court in Punjab province.
Rana Nisar Ahmed, who had been hearing the Mumbai attacks case since he was appointed judge of Rawalpindi’s anti-terrorist court no III in November 2010, was transferred on Saturday.
Ahmed had also been conducting the trial of five suspects charged with involvement in the 2007 assassination of former premier Benazir Bhutto. According to a notification issued by the Lahore High Court, Ahmed was appointed as an additional district and sessions judge in Shakargarh. The move came hours after Ahmed issued a permanent arrest warrant for former president Pervez Musharraf in the Bhutto’s case.
