LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday discarded two petitions regarding US operative Raymond Davis, DawnNews reported.

One petition requested the court to prevent Davis' immunity issue from being heard in the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Meanwhile, the second petition requested the court to make the United States of America a party in the Davis immunity case.

Petitioner Advocate Azhar Siddique had filed both petitions.

LHC Chief Justice Ijaz Ahmed Chaudhry discarded both petitions and stated these issues were beyond the court's jurisdiction.
