Asghar Khan case: Aslam Beg files review plea against SC’s veridct
Beg filed the petition through Advocate Ali Zafar, after his previous counsel Akram Shaikh had denied filing it.
In its verdict in the Asghar Khan petition, the apex court concluded that then president Ghulam Ishaq Khan, along with Beg and former ISI chief Lt Gen (retd) Asad Durrani, distributed funds among various political quarters to influence the 1990 general elections.
As a consequence, the court had noted in its short order that “the President of Pakistan (representing the unity of the Republic) violates the Constitution if he fails to treat all manner of people equally and without favouring any set.”

A moral pygmy, with a colossal ego. A fine specimen of officer corps we had been producing for so long, bar very few exceptions. Their motto is: let me exercise absolute power without absolute accountability.
This is another tactic by the Govt. to delay the implementation of the SC order. The Govt. has developed cold feet to charge the named army personnel and want a way out!
@Faisal: You are right. In his interview he was determined not to file any appeal. Now a reversal act can well judge the stature of a man.
Interesting ;another General denying his involvement; Gen Musharaf also had stated he did not have any thing to do with death of Mr Bughti
I say let the courts fast track and decide the issues
It will again took 18 years to decide this appeal as it will not benefit any one except Beg himself.
But, didn't he say in his interview that he'll not file any 'review petition' since he doesn't trust court any more??
