A Karachi court on Saturday stayed the exhumation of late PTI MNA Dr Aamir Liaquat Hussain's body for an autopsy till August 11. Additional Sessions Judge-II (East) Ghulam Mustafa Laghari passed the order on an application filed by the children of the former lawmaker — Dua Aamir and Ahmed Aamir — who had challenged the June 18 order of a judicial magistrate that allowed a citizen's application to exhume their father's body to ascertain the 'actual cause of his death'. While ordering the exhumation of Hussain's body, the Judicial Magistrate (East) Wazeer Hussain Memon had observed that the cause of his death was still uncertain, which itself had raised questions about whether it was natural or unnatural and could only be ascertained after exhuming the body and its examination.
