LAHORE - The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday issued notice to federal secretary Interior for October 29 on a petition seeking directions for registration of a criminal case against Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman.

The court also directed to club identical petitions and fix them for hearing together. Justice Muhammad Ameer Bhatti heard the petition, filed by Muhammad kashif.

A counsel on behalf of the petitioner submitted that JUI-F chief had announced staging a sit-in in the federal capital in a bid to topple the government. He submitted that JUI-F chief was instigating the masses, which was a serious offence.

He submitted that JUI-F chief had also created armed groups, which was a violation of Article 123 of the Constitution and National Action Plan.
