Islamabad, August 15 (TNS): The Supreme Court on Wednesday sought implementation report of the cabinet decision in Asghar Khan case within a month.
Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar led a three member bench during the hearing of the case.
The CJP questioned during the hearing that, “The cabinet had decided military court trial of army officers. Why the order has not been implemented yet?”.
On this the defense ministry’s representative told the court that he has not received summary of the order from interior ministry.
He requested the court to grant four weeks time for the submission of detailed report.
The court while approving his request maintained that if the court’s order is not implemented, military authority will be summoned instead of defense ministry.
“No one is above the law. The orders of the court should be implemented,” remarked the Chief Justice.
DG FIA informed the court that a telephone conversation was held with Mir Zafarullah Jamal and he has denied receiving money.
Mir Hasil Bizenjo and Humayun Murree were busy in election and will now appear before the court, he added.
The top court directed defense ministry to provide important information to FIA and adjourned the hearing until September 15.
