The Supreme Court (SC) has declared apology tendered by former interior minister Rehman Malik unsatisfactory and decided to indict him in the Steel Mills corruption case.
A three-member bench, presided over by the CJP Iftikhar Chaudhry took up the case for hearing on Monday.
Malik tendered apology for the second time in the court.
Justice Chaudhry remarked, “You have confessed in your written apology and this is a confessional statement as well that FIA inquiry officer was changed in defiance of court’s orders.”
Malik said, “I tender unqualified apology and leave myself at the mercy of court.”
He said he respected the courts and he had been appearing even before the subordinate courts in the country.
The CJP said, “This was not a merit. One has to appear in the courts when there are cases therein.”
The court appointed the attorney general of Pakistan (AGP) as prosecutor in the case and issued notice in this regard.
It has been said that Malik would be charge sheeted in the next week.
