D-Chowk protest: IHC maintains objections

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday maintained the objections of the registrar’s office to a petition regarding a campaign against state institutions after the D-Chowk protest.

The court instructed the petitioner to remove the objections of the registrar’s office within seven days.

Chief Justice Aamer Farooq heard the case filed by Talib Hussain Advocate along with the objections of the registrar office.

The court questioned the petitioner about what he wanted, against whom he had filed the case and needed directions.

The bench noted that the petitioner had named the prime minister, the president and ministers as in-person respondents.

The court said that it couldn’t summon anyone on the basis of the cuttings of newspapers. It said that it was the responsibility of institutions concerned to conduct investigations. The court maintained the objections and adjourned the hearing.
