Islamabad: The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Monday resumed hearing into a petition, seeking to lodge second FIR of Benazir murder.
A three-judge bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was hearing the case.
The court had issued notices to respondents including Interior Minister Rehman Malik, former law minister Dr Babar Awan, former president Pervez Musharraf and others.
The court was informed that notices could not be served to Babar Awan, Rehman Malik and Pervez Musharraf.
The bench ruled that notice be displayed outside Musharraf’s residence in Pakistan with a warning that some other cases were also being heard in the country. The court was told that Rehman Malik’s counsel Anwar Manoor was abroad.
Punjab Police argued that second FIR could not be lodged into Benazir murder as challan was submitted to the court. The police contended that petitioner Aslam Chaudhry was not an affected party in the case.
