Supreme Court gives verdict on PIA employees review petition

*ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed review petitions moved by eight PIA employees against its verdict in the fake degrees case.*

A bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed, expressed displeasure over the appellants seeking review of the top court’s verdict saying the court had been turned into a joke.

A lawyer representing the appellants contended before the bench that the SC’s verdict is being misinterpreted. The subordinate courts are not ready to listen to their contention because of the ruling, he added.

Before winding up the proceedings, the bench issued directives for the relevant courts to deal with such matters as per the law.

Shazia Afridi, Samina Qureshi, Rauf Baig, Kamran Khan and others had instituted appeals against the verdict.
