ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court has decided to treat the report from Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui on March 3 attacks on F-8 district courts as confidential.

On Monday, a three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani, observed that the report by the Islamabad High Court judge was not a public document. It also asked the local representatives of the bar association to go through the report, but they were not allowed to make it public.

Justice Siddiqui was appointed the head of the inquiry commission, the same day when the district court attacks took place.

When the case was taken up, on Monday, the president of Islamabad High Court Bar Association, Mohsin Akhtar Kiyani, told the court that he had not seen the report, therefore, he was not in a position to argue. The court allowed him to inspect the report, but ordered to keep it confidential till the pendency of the hearing.
