| IHC orders bullet-proof car for Pak ex-chief justice | |
| 2014-01-16 | |
The Islamabad High Court on Wednesday directed the government to immediately provide a bullet-proof car to former chief justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry.
Last week the government accepted a court order and provided an old bullet-proof car to Justice Iftikhar but imposed condition that it will be used only for “official” purposes for three months and the former chief justice will be responsible for its maintenance. As a retired person, Justice Iftikhar has no official work to perform. In his verdict on a petition filed by Sheikh Ahsanuddin, IHC’s Justice Shaukat Siddiqui said the former chief justice should be provided security on a par with former prime ministers. | |
