The former premier submitted a written apology to the Supreme Court in which he took back a letter he had earlier written.
The letter asked the 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).
In March, the Supreme Court had issued a contempt notice to Ashraf over the letter, admonishing him for attempting to initiate an inquiry commission.
