RAWALPINDI, Jan 5: Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) No. 1 Judge Chaudhry Habibur Rehman here on Monday issued notice to superintendent of Adiala Jail and directed him to file a written reply on January 12 about the health of a suspected terrorist and the medical care being extended to him.

Khalid Saifullah made the jail superintendent and jail hospital doctor respondents in his application in which he maintained that he had not been produced in the court for the last seven months on account of his health and was being treated at the jail hospital.

Khalid was arrested along with two other accused in May last year on the charge of keeping suicide vests and other explosives.

He maintained that he needed better treatment and the jail administration should be directed to shift him to another hospital.

Separately the court directed the investigation officer (IO) of the case, a sub-inspector of Civil Lines police station, to appear in the court on January 12 along with the relevant record as the accused, Khalid, had also moved the court to seek post-arrest bail.

On Monday the police produced the record and said the investigation officer had been transferred to another police station but the court directed the IO to be present in court on the next date of hearing.

The accused had maintained in his bail plea that he had not been nominated in the FIR and was arrested from his house in Sargodha two months before the registration of the case.
