Counsel for Malik Riaz, Zahid Bukhari, on Saturday sent an application to the Supreme Court (SC) requesting the formation of a larger bench to hear the suo motu case pertaining to allegations against Arsalan Iftikhar, son of Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry.
The application also requested that the bench be formed on the basis of judges’ seniority.
He said Riaz was abroad for medical treatment which was why the documents pertaining to the matter had not been made available to him.
The Supreme Court has been hearing the notice about the bribes allegedly given to the chief justice’s son by Riaz.
