KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday heard appeal against acquittal of accused in Murtaza Bhutto murder case, ARY News reported.
The high court heard appeals of the state and Noor Muhammad, a servant of Murtaza Bhutto in the murder case.
A petition submitted to the court that former police officer Wajid Durrani has been and could not appear in the hearing of the case.
