ISLAMABAD:
Journalist Mohisn Baig has been given clean chit by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday.
IHC dismissed a case filed by Federal Minister for Communication and Postal Services Murad Saeed against media person Mohsin Baig under Section 20 of the Pakistan Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) ordinance.
The high court also dismissed the cases against journalist Bilal Ghauri and Absar Alam that were registered under the same section. However, it added that the minister could file a case under other defamation laws.
In an earlier hearing, the IHC said the amendments to the PECA through an ordinance promulgated link in February this year were 'unconstitutional'.
