Supreme Court (SC) has declared that all expenditure from the public exchequer must be made in a transparent manner and each Rupee of such expenditure must be audited by the Auditor General of Pakistan (AGP), to ensure compliance with law.

Supreme Court of Pakistan issued a verdict in the media commission case regarding usage of secret fund on Tuesday.

A 3-member bench of SC comprising Justice Jawwad S. Khawaja, Justice Khilji Arif Hussain and Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan heard the case.

The petitioners had sought the abolition of Secret Service Funds which have purportedly been used by governments to buy the loyalty of journalists and other opinion-makers.

The SC in its verdict said that all expenditure from the public exchequer must be made in a transparent manner and each rupee of such expenditure must be audited by the Auditor general of Pakistan, to ensure compliance with law.

  1. Nawaz sharif became 3rd time PM in gross violation of rules of the state
    charges (corruption, money laundering, attacking SC etc)

    This shows law applies to the poor only.
    what about cases of national importance where SC did not provide justice to the people like above case?

  2. Why this channel bashes ISI and armed forces? Because ISI and armed forces must be weakened at the point in time when they are fighting India’s proxies in FATA, Balochistan and even in Karachi. This is something enemy does to pressurize the security establishment of the rivals and break their resolve to fight. The Pakistani channel is doing exactly the same and earning millions of dollars of Indian money it has received. The security establishment should realize that even this channel is an Indian proxy and needs to be fought. The Supreme Court owes its popularity to this channel and may not take any action or utter any word to displease it. More at: http://urdumail.wordpress.com/2013/07/16/foreigne

  3. What happened to my comment? I only asked if judges of Supreme Court were above the law and this principle did not apply to them. Showing undue respect to this genre is against principles of propriety.
