Top Court Delists Asghar Khan Case

ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court of Pakistan’s Registrar office on Monday issued a notification which confirmed delisting of Asghar Khan case.

The infamous case has been delisted just a day prior to its hearing.

Moreover, all parties in the case have been sent notices by the registrar office of the top court regarding the suspension of hearing.

Background Of Asghar Khan Case

Around 20 years back, late Asghar Khan filed a human rights petition backing retired Gen Naseerullah’s allegations that ISI had purchased the loyalties of certain politicians to manipulate the 1990 general election.

Later, retired Gen Asad Durrani confirmed those accusations before the Supreme court of Pakistan.

In his affidavit, he admitted that he played a role in manipulating the 1990 general elections. He also named the other players and elaborated on how the scheme unfolded.

Notwithstanding this shocking revelation, the case languished until 2012 when the Supreme Court handed down a landmark verdict that had the potential of redrawing the political and institutional landscape along democratic lines.

Yet there has been no accountability thus far, either for those who administered the slush fund, nor its recipients.
