ISLAMABAD – A three-member Supreme Court bench, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, has observed that courts where Moonis Elahi’s case is being heard are entirely independent to proceed with the matter in accordance with the law and without being influenced in any manner from the NICL case proceedings in the apex court.
The bench passed this order on a petition filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Q President Senator Chaudhry Shujat Hussain.
SM Zafar, Wasim Sajjad and Dr Khalid Ranjha appeared in the case as his legal counsels.
Zafar as the senior counsel stated that on account of the pendency of the matter before the Supreme Court, Moonis Elahi was not getting the legal relief he was entitled for.
The bench in its written order observed that notwithstanding any controversy with regard to the interim or final status of the challan, the courts hearing the matter were entirely independent in their proceedings. The bench further observed that if the legal relief was sought for the counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner would be free to raise any argument.
