ISLAMABAD (NNI): The Islamabad High Court has removed the hearing of a case against former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa, ex-ISI chief Faiz Hameed and two journalists from its cause list.
The petition seeking registration of a case against the former army and ISI chiefs was scheduled for hearing on November 28.
According to the Islamabad High Court website, the case was canceled and removed from the list.
IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq was supposed to hear the petition of citizen Atif Ali on Tuesday.
The citizen has filed an application to register a case in FIA against former COAS Bajwa, ex-spy master Faiz Hameed and two journalists Javed Chaudhry and Shahid Maitla over news reports regarding the ex-military officers’ role in politics. Justice Farooq heard the petition on October 4.
The petitioner contended that the interview of ex-Gen Bajwa was conducted in a “reckless” manner and the journalists, Javed Chaudhry and Maitla, did not show any sense of responsibility in publishing them.
The petition claimed the revelations made in the interview(s) were a violation of the Official Secrets Act and tantamount to inciting mutiny and disharmony.
The High Court issued notices to the FIA, General Retired Qamar Javed Bajwa and Faiz Hameed on the application of Atif Ali.
