Khawaja Haris preserved that abetment charges against his clients were indefensible.

He said that assisting and supporting did not occur simply because the intent to commit the crime was known beforehand and it could have been evaded by notifying the police.

He said in that case different sections would be applicable.

The court submitted the proceedings till September 21 after ordering the complainant’s lawyer, Shah Khawar Advocate, to present his argument at the next hearing.
