A three-member bench comprising Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Tariq Parvez and Justice Ghulam Rabbani would hear a Writ Petition on September 21 (Wednesday) filed by Chaudhry Muhammad Aslam against the Lahore High Court’s June 23 decision that rejected the plea for registration of second FIR in Benazir Bhutto’s assassination case against former president Musharraf and 12 others.
Chaudhry Muhammad Aslam, who had served as Benazir’s protocol officer for about 21 years and was critically injured in the Liaqat Bagh carnage, had filed an appeal in the apex court against the dismissal of his petition by the LHC under Article 185(3) of the constitution. He made former president Musharraf, Interior Minister Rehman Malik, former Punjab chief minister Ch Pervez Elahi, former law minister Babar Awan, former Intelligence Bureau director general Ejaz Shah, former caretaker interior minister Hamid Nawaz, interior secretary Kamal Shah, former spokesman of interior ministry Javed Iqbal Cheema and others as respondents. Attorney General for Pakistan has been put on notice for the hearing.
AG Maulvi Anwar-ul-Haq on Saturday submitted reports of Scotland Yard and UN Commission regarding murder of Benazir Bhutto which the SC had demanded.
