An-Anti Terrorism Court (ATC) on Wednesday ruled that the federal government did not need anyone’s permission to make public the investigation report and judicial proceedings into the assassination of former PM Benazir Bhutto.
The court was hearing an application by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) moved on directives of the federal government that sought court’s permission to make public the investigation report and judicial proceedings into Benazir’s murder.
The plea stated that the people were concerned over the delay in verdict into the case despite the passage of five years. It added that the federal government wanted to release the joint interrogation report and proceedings of trial court for the public. ATC Judge Habibur Rehman disposed of the application, ruling that the government did not need any permission to make the report public.
