(Karachi) Lahore High Court (LHC) dismissed former accountability judge Mohammad Arshad Malik, who had sentenced ex-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, from his job over controversial video scandal.
The verdict was announced by administrative body of LHC headed by Chief Justice Qasim Khan on Friday.
The other members of the committee included senior judge Justice Mamoon-ur-Rasheen, Justice Mazahir Ali Akbar Naqvi, Justice Ameen-ud-Din Khan, Justice Ameer Bhatti and Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmad Khan.
Last year, PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz had unveiled a video clip in which ex-accountability judge Arshad Malik said that there was “no proof of corruption against the deposed premier” in the December 24 Al-Azizia reference.
She said the judge had contacted Nasir Butt and told him that he was feeling guilty and having nightmares ever since he announced the verdict that led to Nawaz Sharif’s imprisonment.
The PML-N leader claimed that the accountability judge was coerced into delivering the Al-Azizia verdict against Nawaz. She further demanded acquittal of Nawaz Sharif on the basis of evidences shown in video, adding that she respects every institution of Pakistan.
