Islamabad, Feb. 1 (TNS): A three-member bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, headed by Chief Justice Saqib Nisar, will resume the hearing of the Memogate case on February 8.
The Memogate scandal erupted in 2011 when Pakistani-American businessman Mansoor Ijaz claimed to have received an ‘anti-army’ memo from Pakistan’s ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani for the then-US joint chiefs chairman Admiral Mike Mullen.
The bench, comprising Justice Umar Ata Bandial and Justice Ijazul Ahsan, will hear the case on February 8.
The SC registrar’s office also sent notices to the 24 petitioners of the case, which include Nawaz Sharif, Ishaq Dar, Abdul Qadir Baloch, Ghaus Ali Shah, Husain Haqqani and others.
