The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday adjourned the hearing in the federal government’s intra-court appeal (ICA) till March 2, that had been filed against a order of an IHC single bench regarding provision of bulletproof vehicle to former chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.
A division bench comprising Justice Noorul Haq Qureshi and Justice Aamir Farooq adjourned the matter due to lawyers strike.
On January 15, 2014 Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui of the IHC had directed the federal government to provide Justice Chaudhry with security at par with former prime ministers after he was informed by Joint Secretary Cabinet Division Ziaul Haq that the government had provided bulletproof cars to the three former prime minister Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani and Raja Pervaiz Ashraf while no former president had been provided with bulletproof car.
