The Lahore High Court Chief Justice on Wednesday dropped proceedings of a suo motu notice taken in 2008 against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for allegedly scandalising the judiciary during the lawyers' movement. A deputy attorney general told the Chief Justice that then senior judge of PCO regime had taken the notice for alleged character assassination of judges by Nawaz Sharif.
The law officer said no progress was made in the case and deposed judges were reinstated in wake of the lawyers' movement. He said the suo motu had therefore become no fructuous. The court examined the case record and discharged the proceedings.
