ISLAMABAD – Jang media group comes under fire yet again for wrong courtstory.

The Supreme Court issued notices to Urdu newspaper *Jang* and Englishdaily *TheNews* for allegedly misreporting a court story, in which the top judiciaryhad appeared to criticise the government.

The two publications, in their lead stories today, had reported that theChief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar, while hearing a suo motu caseof illegal construction in Banigala, had “remarked that the currentgovernment lacked capability and planning”.

The top judge today distanced himself from those remarks, adding that “thisnews is untrue”.
