Observer Report Islamabad
The Islamabad High Court reserved its judgment on Friday on a petition seeking a probe into former chief justice Saqib Nisar’s alleged audio clip.
The high court heard a petition filed by former president Sindh High Court Bar Association Salahuddin Ahmed, seeking an inquiry commission to be set up to investigate the audio clip.
However, Attorney General of Pakistan Khalid Javed Khan opposed the proposition, questioning the narrative that one person’s audio clip had made the entire judiciary appear ‘compromised’.
“What is the difference between the petitioner and Rana Shamim?” the AGP asked, referring to the alleged affidavit of Gilgit-Baltistan’s former chief justice in which he has claimed that ex-CJP Saqib Nisar influenced the case against former premier Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz.
