Lahore judge's order for FIR against Sharifs challenged

LAHORE: Information Minister Pervaiz Rasheed has challenged the ruling of a Lahore court which ordered the registration of a murder case against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, several other PML-N leaders and some police officials over the June 17 Model Town incident.


Rasheed challenged the ruling in the Lahore High Court in a personal capacity which the court has admitted for hearing.


The petition will be heard today by Justice Mehmood Maqbool Bajwa of the LHC.


The petition contends that the ruling of the sessions judge that ordered the registration of cases was not based on the reality of situation, adding that the order be suspended.


Eleven supporters of the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) were killed and scores were wounded in the June 17 Model Town incident.
