Zaheera is the prime witness in the Best Bakery case.

The sessions court has detained Zaheera in custody after she surrendered recently in keeping with a Supreme Court order sentencing her to one year jail for contempt of court.

The court has also summoned Zaheera's mother Sahrunissa, sister Sahira and brothers Nassibullah and Nafitullah.

However, Nafitullah passed away recently while others have been directed to appear on March 29 to answer the show cause notices issued to them for perjury (giving false evidence).

Zaheera and Nasibullah had last time asked for time to reply to show cause notices for perjury, pleading that they did not have the copy of the Best Bakery judgement pronounced on February 24 when the judge had pulled them up for making false averments during the retrial.

The court had also exempted Sahrunissa and Sahira from appearance on March 20 but asked them to appear on March 29.
