The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has fixed for hearing a petition for amending the indictment of former premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi in the LNG reference.
A division bench comprising Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani and Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri will hear the application on October 31.
The petitioner has requested the court to direct the accountability court to amend the indictment of the former prime minister.
It also sought the provision of complete record of the LNG reference, besides dismissing the January 15, 2021 order of the trial court.
The petition highlighted that the court has sought the record of the case from the investigation officer.
An accountability court had issued a 26-page order to indict the former premier and others.
Abbasi has challenged the order through his lawyer, Barrister Zafarullah.
