ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry on Wednesday rejected an objection by the Registrar Office on an application of former envoy Husain Haqqani in the memo case, DawnNews reported.
The judge heard the plea in his chamber and accepted the application for hearing. The court has fixed Dec 19 for hearing the plea.
Haqqani, through his lawyer Asma Jahangir, had challenged the Supreme Court office’s decision in which the registrar had rejected his petition against the court’s Dec 1 order in the case.
In the first hearing of the case on Dec 1, the court had appointed a commission to probe the scandal and had stopped Haqqani from leaving the country.
In addition, it had asked the president, the army chief, the ISI head and Haqqani to submit their replies to the court.
