Court begins Misbah case hearing | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
A court in Pakistan has begun considering the future of runaway schoolgirl Misbah Ranah. | |
The 12-year-old left her mother's home in Scotland for Pakistan last August. | |
The case called at the Supreme Court in Islamabad but was adjourned after a proposal from Misbah's mother, Louise Campbell, requesting holiday visits. | |
Ms Campbell has offered to drop her claim for full custody provided she has regular contact with her daughter, who is living with her father, Sajad Rana. | |
It is still not clear whether the case will be decided on Wednesday. | |

Last week the court ruled that the schoolgirl's parents should put their proposals for access in writing. | |
Ms Campbell, who lives in the Western Isles, had been granted interim custody of her daughter by the Court of Session in Edinburgh last June. | |
However, Misbah, also known as Molly Campbell, has insisted she now wants to live with her father's family in Pakistan. | |
Over the weekend, Mr Rana denied reports that she is to study Islam at a controversial religious school in Islamabad. | Over the weekend, Mr Rana denied reports that she is to study Islam at a controversial religious school in Islamabad. |
