An Anti-Terrorism Court on Tuesday dismissed the bail application of acclaimed journalist and poet Ahmad Farhad.
The local court, after a thorough consideration of the arguments presented by both parties, announced the verdict that had been reserved earlier.
Farhad, who mysteriously disappeared from his home in Islamabad, was later discovered in the custody of authorities in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, who initially took up the plea for Farhad’s recovery, continues to preside over his case.
