The civil judge and judicial magistrate, Azfar Sultan Syed, acquitted five persons of the charges of harassing and beating up their neighbours owing to the lack of evidences against them.

The accused — Rustam, Kamran, Asad, Tahir and Hamid — had been booked by the Airport police for harassing and beating their neighbours over property dispute.

The senior magistrate, Abbas Raza Gilani, accepted the bail application of a person accused of disturbing peace in his neighbourhood after drinking liquor.
