ISLAMABAD: An 11-member bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, will hear Husain Haqqani’s review petition in the memo case on Jan 17.

Notices have been issued to the relevant parties.

The review petition was filed by Haqqani, Pakistan’s former ambassador to the US through his counsel Asma Jahangir, in the Supreme Court for review of the order passed by the apex court on Dec 30, 2011 in the memo case.

The petitioner has raised a number of questions about the orders issued by the court, including questions about fundamental rights entitled to him in Article 9 (security of person) and Article 15 (freedom of movement) of the Constitution.
