During the hearing, Justice Khosa told Naek that the court had asked for the Swiss letter draft, submitted in the court a day earlier, to be revised adding that he hoped revisions had been made.
Naek submitted Prime Minister Raja Pervej Ashraf’s authority letter delegating the law minister to draft the letter and a revised draft of the letter to the court .
The judges held consultations on the revised draft of the letter.

The judges accepted Naek’s request as they retreated to their chambers.
Naek and Sajjad were summoned into the judges chambers.
An initial draft of the letter, to be sent to the Swiss authorities, was submitted in the court a day earlier in accordance to an earlier order passed by the court.

  1. This is new style of justice. The government and judiciary are negotiating. Who knows whether negotiations are only regarding letter draft or wide ranging? Governments are political and can be expected to negotiate. Courts are a different matter. Unfortunately, you can expect everything from judiciary under Iftikhar Chaudhry except justice. Under him, justice will neither be done nor seem to be done.

    • TRY supporting CJ for whatever he has done to bring all these looters down to their knees..
      And another thing.. get a life please!
