A writ petition was filed in the Supreme Court on Friday challenging the resignation of Adviser on Interior Rehman Malik from his Senate seat without getting the SC’s permission, according to a private TV channel. The petition was filed by Mahmood Akhtar Naqvi. The petitioner submitted that the SC had already suspended Rehman Malik’s Senate membership in the dual nationality case while the case was still pending in the SC, but Malik resigned from his Senate seat without seeking permission from the SC, which was against the court orders and constitution. The petitioner pleaded the court to issue directives in this regard. Meanwhile, another petition was filed in the SC against Rehman Malik for cheating the court regarding his dual nationality. The petitioner submitted in his petition that Rehman Malik cheated the court by claiming to have renounced his British nationality. The petitioner said that Rehman Malik lied to the court, proving that he did not respect the judiciary and the court and he must be booked for fraud.
