The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday allowed the electronic media to report court proceedings in line with the guidelines of Supreme Court. IHC Chief Justice Amir Farooq Malik heard the petitions of Islamabad High Court Journalists Association, Press Association of Supreme Court and PFUJ against the notification issued by PEMRA imposing a ban on court reporting.
High Court Bar President Ali Azad and Adil Aziz Qazi appeared before the court on behalf of the petitioners.
