ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan issued a contempt of court notice to former prime minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf in the Rental Power Projects (RPPs) case on Thursday, reported Express News.
The court ordered the former prime minister to appear in person before the bench in the next hearing.
Earlier during his tenure as the prime minister, Ashraf had written a letter urging the apex court to constitute an inquiry commission comprising Dr Shoaib Suddle to probe into the multi-billion RPPs scandal, independent of the ongoing investigations being conducted by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The court had admonished Ashraf for attempting to initiate an inquiry commission.
The hearing was adjourned till two weeks.
