In a move to expedite the ongoing process of withdrawing politically motivated cases, victims who were sued between January 6, 2009 and August 5, 2024, can now directly apply to the Solicitor of the Law and Justice Division under the Ministry of Law.
The decision was taken at the 11th meeting of the ministry-level committee formed to review politically motivated cases held at the Secretariat on Sunday.
Applicants must attach certified copies of the FIR and the charge sheet (where applicable), with their application.
