ISLAMABAD - Former husband of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s wife, Khawar Maneka has refused to appear before the Supreme Court.
Khawer Maneka and his son, Ibrahim Maneka were summoned in a suo motu notice of the transfer of Pakpattan District Police Officer Rizwan Gondal .
A three-member bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Mian Saqib Nisar is hearing the suo motu case.
As the hearing went under way, Justice Nisar asked, "What is this case? For the past five days, the whole nation has been discussing it."
"I keep repeating this, we want an independent police force," he remarked.
Justice Nisar continued, "If the transfer was made on the request of the chief minister or the person sitting next to him then this is not right."
The CJP also inquired where Ahsan Jameel Gujjar and Khawar Maneka were.
"Why was the DPO asked to visit Maneka's house to apologise and why was he transferred at 1am?" Justice Nisar asked.
Further, Justice Ijazul Ahsan remarked, "We will not tolerate political interference or influence."
To this, the CJP added, "We will see how transfers are made through exerting pressure."
