Convicted policemen named Iftikhar Ahmed and Muhammad Mustafa challenged their sentence in Islamabad High Court.
They pleaded to nullify their death sentence by declaring the verdict of the district and sessions courts in ‘contradiction’ with the law.
A two-member bench comprising Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kiyani and Justice Tariq Mahmood Jahangiri will hear the petition.
Osama Satti, it may be recalled, was killed by Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) personnel after they claimed that the boy refused to stop his vehicle at a check-point following a robbery report on the wireless in Islamabad.
The post mortem report later found that the boy was shot multiple times from the front.
