A three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani, resumed hearing of a suo motu case on Peshawar Church attack.

According to Dawn News, the attack on All Saints church in Peshawar in September last year is believed to be the deadliest ever to target the country's small Christian minority killing more than 80 people.

During the hearing, Jilani insisted to submit provincial reports regarding the number and security arrangements of minorities worship places, the report added.
