LHC to hear treason case against Nawaz and Khaqan
The Lahore High Court (LHC) today will resume hearing a high treason case against former prime ministers Nawaz Sharif and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi today (Monday).

A three-member LHC full bench headed by Justice Mazahar Ali Naqvi and comprising Justice Atir Mahmood and Justice Chaudhry Masood Jahangir will hear the treason petition against Abbasi, Nawaz and journalist Cyril Almeida.

During the last hearing on October 8, the bench had adjourned the case till today.

The bench had asked the deputy attorney general whether the federal government had taken any decision regarding inquiry into the case. The court was then told that the case pertains to the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) and they have to conduct an inquiry.

o this, Justice Mazahar Ali Naqvi had remarked, "How is this case pertaining to PEMRA, it seems that you have not read the petition."

"This is a sensitive issue and the attorney general should have appeared for the hearing," he had further said. The court then directed that the attorney general be present for the next hearing.
