Supreme Court (SC) has taken up an application against the potential sacking of Army Chief Kayani and the ISI Chief Pasha as maintainable.
A three-judge SC bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Muhammed Chaudhry heard the petition concerning the objections leveled by the Registrar regarding the potential dismissal of Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lieutenant General Ahmed Shuja Pasha from their offices.
The Chief Justice remarked the appeal against the order of the Registrar is heard at the chamber; but, keeping in view the import of the matter, the appeal has been put forward before a bench to elicit the opinion of the Attorney General.
The Attorney General of Pakistan Maulvi Anwarul Haq said he has done away with some of the objections; and the arguments regarding the maintainability of the plea should be left to the parties to the case.
The court ordered to present the appeal before any bench for hearing.
