Hussain's son and daughter file petition challenging order.
Exhumation is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning (June 23).

Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday suspended the orders for the exhumation of famous televangelist Aamir Liaquat Hussain's body for an autopsy to ascertain the cause of his death.

Deceased TV host's children had approached the SHC against the orders issued by a judicial magistrate in Karachi.

The judicial magistrate (East) on Saturday approved a petition seeking the autopsy of the deceased anchorperson, who was found dead under mysterious circumstances at his residence earlier this month.

Hussain's estranged family members, who came only for his last rites, have decided to challenge the magistrate's orders in the SHC.

The petition filed by Hussain's son and daughter is scheduled for hearing by a two-member bench today.

The exhumation is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning (June 23), a notification issued by the Sindh health department said on Tuesday. A six-member medical board has been formed for the autopsy. Police surgeon Dr Summaiya Syed will head the board.

Hussain's first wife, Dr Bushra Iqbal has been opposing the postmortem since his death. Responding to the order, Bushra had raised several questions about performing an autopsy on Hussain.

She urged fans to be vocal in opposing the autopsy as it "is a painful procedure for dead people and Islam doesn’t allow it".
