A petition filed by the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra), the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) on April 27 contended that another IHC bench had already issued a verdict in a similar case.
During the hearing, the assistant attorney general (AAG) informed the court that the IB wanted to withdraw its plea objecting to the formation of the bench.
However, Justice Sattar said the IB’s petition was already dismissed during the last hearing. “When the order comes, you will receive it.”
At an earlier hearing on Monday, Justice Sattar had imposed a fine of Rs500,000 each on the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra), which sought his recusal from the audio leaks case.
The judge had disposed of the pleas of the three federal institutions.
“The IB Director general (DG) has been put on notice, why not initiate contempt of court proceedings against him,” the court added. The order further raised a question regarding the authorization for filing the petition.
Justice Sattar told the AAG that IB’s written response can be submitted once a written order is issued. The court then also dismissed the IB’s separate application seeking withdrawal of the objection plea.
