KARACHI, July 14: Addition-al district and sessions judge-VII, South, Irfan Hussain Siddiqui on Monday dismissed as not maintainable an application filed by an individual against the deposed chief justice of Pakistan, Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry.
The applicant, Maulvi Iqbal Haider had filed his plea under Section 22-A of the Criminal Procedure Code alleging that Justice Chaudhry had illegally obtained a plot from the Federal Government Employees Housing Foundation in July 2006, and maintained that the act had caused heavy financial losses to the national exchequer.
The applicant had sought the court’s order directing the police station concerned to register an FIR against the judge.
Deputy district attorney Abdul Maaroof argued that the applicant did not provide any evidence to substantiate his allegation.
The counsel told the court that the applicant’s allegation was aimed at damaging Justice Chaudhry’s reputation. He prayed to the court to dismiss the application since it was not maintainable.
