Former Gilgit-Baltistan chief judge Rana Shamim on Tuesday challenged his indictment in a contempt of court case in the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
He filed an intra-court appeal assailing an IHC single bench’s January 20 decision of indicting him in the contempt case. A two-judge bench will take up his appeal.
Citing Journalist Ansar Abbasi and others as respondents, the applicant stated that the single bench indicted him only, while letting those who published his affidavit off the hook, which is illegal. He pleaded with the court to set aside his indictment and quash the case.INP
