ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Friday summoned former DG of ISI, General Faiz Hameed in the case of dismissal of Islamabad High Court judge Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui.
The notices were also issued to former IHC chief justice Anwar Khan Kasi, former registrar of the Supreme Court Arbab Muhammad Arif and retired brigadier Irfan Ramay.
As the hearing started, Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa asked if the allegations leveled by Shaukat Siddiqui were true. He then asked, “Was Siddiqui dismissed on a speech made about these allegations? Is the general to whom you want to be party in the case, himself wanted to assume power in 2018 General Elections?”.
The chief justice asked for whom the accused persons were working or wanted to give benefit. Addressing the petitioner’s lawyer, the CJP then said, “You did not make them party against whom you leveled allegations. If the allegations made by Siddiqui are true, then these army generals were facilitating someone else.”
