A full bench of the Lahore High Court on Thursday reserved its verdict on a writ petition challenging the presidential pardon to Interior Minister Rehman Malik against his conviction in two references of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The bench headed by Chief Justice Ijaz Ahmad Chaudhry reserved judgment on the petition of Imtiaz Rasheed Qureshi, media coordinator of Save Judicial Committee. The petitioner had requested the court to set aside the president’s order and to restore the sentence. He stated that Malik had not filed any mercy petition and the purported pardon was a violation of the due process concept.
