ATC Drops Contempt Proceedings Against Two FIA’s Directors

An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Wednesday dismissed contempt proceedings against two directors of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) after they offered an unconditional apology.

Earlier, FIA’s Director of Cyber Crime, Jehanzaib Nazir, and Director of the Anti-Terrorism Wing, Humayun Masood, appeared before the court and apologized unconditionally for not complying with court orders.

The court then warned both officers, stating that any future negligence would result in strict action.

Following their apology, the court dropped the contempt proceedings against them.

The contempt proceedings had been initiated due to their failure to submit records in a case against Amir Shahzad, despite repeated orders. The court had issued a notice to the officers, asking why contempt proceedings should not be initiated against them for their non-compliance.
