The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday sought a verified copy of the FIR lodged against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and others.
The court was hearing a writ petition filed by Advocate Saeed Zafar who challenged the registration of the sedition case against the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo and other leaders.
After an initial hearing, the court called for a verified copy of the FIR to be submitted to it before proceeding with the petition.
It is to be noted that the Lahore Shahdara Police have, on the complaint of a citizen Badar Rasheed, registered a case against Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz, former PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, former federal ministers – Ahsan Iqbal, Pervez Rasheed, Saad Rafique and Rana Sanaullah on different charges including sedition.
