The Supreme Court on Thursday took up the Punjab government’s urgent application seeking omissions of certain portions from its July 24 verdict in the Mubarak Ahmad Sani case.
On February 6, a two-judge SC bench, led by Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa, overturned the conviction of Mubarak Sani, who was accused of an offence in 2019 under the Punjab Holy Quran (Printing and Recording) (Amendment) Act.
In its judgement, the court noted that the offence that the defendant had been accused of was not criminalised till 2021.
