ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 21st Apr, 2026) Proceedings in the high-profile Iman Afroz murder case could not take place at the District and Sessions Court in Islamabad on Tuesday due to the unavailability of the presiding judge.

The case, involving the murder of a female student of the International Islamic University, was adjourned without any hearing until May 11.

The session was scheduled to be conducted by Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majokah, but his absence led to the postponement. As a result, the prosecution could not record the statements of additional witnesses today.

Iman Afroz, a university student, was tragically killed, and the case is being closely followed by legal and education circles in the capital.

The court will now resume proceedings on May 11, when further witness testimonies are expected to be recorded.
