A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar will hear the case on September 27.

Earlier this year, shopkeeper andaspiring model Naqeebullah Mehsud andthree others were shot dead in a police encounter.

The police officer and his team were put behind bars when the deceased’s family protested against the extrajudicial killing.

However, later, an anti-terrorism court of Karachi granted bail to the prime accused, former SSP Rao Anwar, after charges against him were not proved.
