The Supreme Court of Pakistan has ordered the arrest of the main accused in Khadija Siddiqui’s case, declaring Lahore High Court’s earlier verdict null and void.
Khadija Siddiqui was stabbed by her class-fellow, Shah Hussain, on Davis Road, Lahore in broad daylight on May 3, 2016. She was stabbed 23 times when she went with her driver to pick up her younger sister from school, sustaining critical injuries.
After Shah Hussain’s acquittal by the Lahore High Court in June 2018, the law student had turned to the apex court, filing an appeal in search of justice. The landmark decision came earlier today and the Twitterati are expressing their gratitude to the top court for serving justice.
Let’s have a look at how people are sharing their views.
Does this stop here?
A good start by the new CJP.
A big relief.
Hats off to her for standing up.
Challenging the lawyer mafia of Lahore.
Justice wins today – Pakistan wins today.
An inspiration for other girls.
The question remains.
