The lawyer representing the father argued that the police failed to produce actionable evidence based on facts against his client, hence he should be released immediately and all charges against him be stripped.
The lawyer also said that the Lahore sessions court made the decision to hang the father in haste, as evidence against the individual was severely lacking back then too.
