ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday clubbed the petition of Nasir Butt, an accused in the “judge video scandal,” with the main appeal of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, challenging the Al-Azizia Steel Mills verdict.
Nasir Butt had filed an intra-court appeal regarding verification of documents from the Pakistan High Commission, London which was heard by a division bench comprising Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhter Kiyani.
Earlier, IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah had dismissed this petition while mentioning some flaws in the case.
The ICA prayed the bench to turn down the judgment of the single-member bench and sought orders for Pakistan High Commission London to verify the documents of Nasir Butt which contained audio and video record of former judge Arshad Malik.
The court served notices to the federation and adjourned hearing of the case till November 25.
