ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - September 10, 2026) The Supreme Court on Thursday expressed displeasure over the lack of preparation by counsel for a murder convict challenging his life imprisonment and adjourned the hearing until next week, allowing the lawyer time to prepare the case.
