The Sindh High Court postponed a judicial magistrate217;s decision for the exhumation and post-mortem of late PTI politician and TV personality Dr Aamir Liaquat Hussain on Wednesday.
The court issued its ruling after hearing an appeal from Aamir Hussain217;s son and daughter against the judicial magistrate217;s order.
The court delayed the judicial magistrate217;s order until the next hearing of the appeal on June 29.
The Sindh health secretary and the medical board were also served with notices by the court.
Earlier in the day, the Sindh High Court agreed to hear an appeal filed by Aamir Liaquat217;s son and daughter to overturn a Karachi judicial magistrate217;s orders for exhumation and post-mortem examination of their father217;s body. Advocate Zia Awan filed the appeal on behalf of the deceased217;s daughter and son.
On Tuesday, Bushra—the former first wife of deceased lawmaker and television star Dr Aamir Liaquat—decided to contest the court order to exhume her late husband217;s body for an autopsy, but she could do so herself because she had no connection to the late lawmaker.
Earlier, on Saturday, a court magistrate in Karachi ordered that a post-mortem examination be performed on Aamir Liaquat Hussain, who died on June 9 and was buried the next day.
