A setback for the PTI government over threatening letter probe

Raising objections to the petition, seeking a probe into the ‘threateningletter’ received by Prime Minister Imran Khan, the Registrar Office of theSupreme Court (SC) on Saturday rejected it, saying it was non-maintainable,reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The registrar said the petition did not pertain to basic human rights, andthat it could not be heard under article 184/3 of the constitution.

Raising another objection, the registrar said that the petitioner had notapproached the relevant forum.

The petition filed by Naeemul Hassan Advocate read that since according tothe letter, which the prime minister had shown to a large public gatheringin Islamabad on March 27, there was a ‘foreign hand’ behind theopposition’s no-trust motion, therefore the Supreme Court put on holdvoting on the motion until and unless probe into the ‘foreign connection’was not completed.

The petitioner also demanded the formation of a commission similar to theone formed to investigate the Memogate Scandal.
