ISLAMABAD: A domestic violence case landed at the doorstep of the Supreme Court on Tuesday, as the victim petitioner moved to overturn the Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) Feb 24, 2026 acquittal of an accused.
The controversy stems from a case of domestic violence committed against the petitioner who was then residing at her matrimonial home but subjected to cruelty at the hands of her in-laws for a considerable period prior to the occurrence.
The criminal appeal was moved by senior lawyer Syed Ishfaq Hussain Naqvi before the Supreme Court on behalf of the victim complainant.
On June 13, 2023 at about 6:37am, a violent occurrence took place within the limits of Police Station Nilore, Islamabad when the petitioner was attacked inside her house during a domestic dispute.
