SC dismisses Aslam Beg, Durrani's review petitions in Asghar Khan case

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court has rejected the review petitions of former army chief retired General Mirza Aslam Beg and former ISI Director General Lieutenant General retired Asad Durrani against the 2012 Asghar Khan case judgment.

A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar, was hearing the review petitions filed by the two against the apex court's decision on the case filed by late air chief Asghar Khan. 

It may be recalled that in 2012, the apex court had issued its verdict, ordering legal proceedings against retired general Mirza Aslam Beg and retired Lt Gen Asad Durrani in the case filed by former air chief Air Marshal Asghar Khan.

The court today issued a notice to attorney general of Pakistan regarding implementation of the verdict in the case.

The court also issued a notice to DG FIA and directed him to apprise the court about steps taken for implementation of the verdict. AFP
