SC judge’s daughter gets clean chit in car accident case

ISLAMABAD: The district and session court has acquitted Shanzay Malik, the daughter of a Supreme Court (SC) Judge Shahzad Malik, in a case related to hit and run accident in which two people were killed.

In 2022, an SUV allegedly driven by Shanzay Malik ran over two employees of Savour Foods, near the Sohan bridge on the Expressway at midnight.

According to the judicial record, she abandoned her car and fled after hitting Shakeel Tanoli and his colleague Hasnain Ali on June 8.

The court ruled in favour of the daughter of a SC judge after reviewing the evidence and arguments presented during the hearing. 

Earlier, the court had reserved its decision following the completion of proceedings in the case in which Shanzay’s lawyers had argued that the police registered the case 11 days after the incident and also failed to prove that their client was responsible for the accident. 

Judicial Magistrate Adnan Yousaf after examining the facts concluded that due to lack of evidence against Shanzay Malik she is cleared of all charges against her.
