The larger bench will be headed by Chief Justice Athar Minallah who was on a leave since the past few days and includes Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb, Justice Babar Sattar and Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri. Earlier, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman was issued notices by the IHC to appear before the court on August 31.
