Hyderabad: The state government has moved two appeals before the Hyderabad High Court against the acquittal of Mohammed Omar bin Yafai, alias Mohammed Pahelwan, and nine others from the case of attempt to murder MIM legislator Akbaruddin Owaisi. They were acquitted by the Seventh Additional Metropolitan Session Court of the city recently.
In one appeal, the government challenged the acquittal and in another it challenged the 10 years of imprisonment awarded by the trial court to the accused Hasan, Abdullah, Wahed and another person in the case.
The government while challenging the sentence relied on the opinion of the doctors who said the MLA had sustained serious injuries. If he would not have been taken to hospital in time, there would have been a threat to his life. The government contended that the trial court did not consider this fact.
