The Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday rejected a plea seeking inclusion of names of provincial president of Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-e-Azam (PML-Q) Pervez Elahi, former director general (DG)of ISI Hamid Gul and former DG Intelligence Bureau (IB) Ijaz Shah in the Benazir Bhutto murder case.
A plea was filed in the SC by Advocate Kulsoom Khaliq requesting the court to take action on United Nations (UN) investigative report on Benazir’s murder. The petition urged the SC to include Elahi, Gul and Shah in the case.
The SC registrar office had objected to Khaliq’s plea saying that it is not a case of public interest and she should approach the forum concerned. The petitioner put forth an appeal against the registrar office’s objection stating that Benazir was a national and public figure who was murdered.
