ISLAMABAD - New developments have been reported in the Supreme Court of Pakistan reading Hussain Haqqani case.
The Supreme Court on Monday decided to hold in-camera proceedings of the Memogate case.
“Has there been any developments on Husain Haqqani’s return?” asked Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar as the hearing began.
Ahmed Bilal Sufi, an amicus in the case, responded that “developments have been made, will inform the court of the development in an in-camera hearing of the case”.
The court then accepted the amicus’ application to hold in-camera proceedings in the case and adjourned the hearing for an indefinite time.
The apex court in February issued warrants for the arrest of former ambassador to the United States Hussain Haqqani in the Memogate case.
Additional Attorney General Waqar Rana had submitted a report suggesting ways for bringing Haqqani back to Pakistan. He had said that American authorities also had been contacted in this regard.
Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Director General Bashir Memon had also informed the court that, “A request has also been sent to Interpol regarding the issuance of a red warrant.”
