ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari has summoned the legal experts of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) to discuss the options available to the government after the  Supreme Courts order declared the Contempt of Court Act 2012 (Coca) as void, DawnNews reported.

Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan, Law Minister Farooq H. Naek, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Barrister Syed Masood Kausar, Attorney General Irfan Qadir, Federal Governments counsel Abdul Shakoor Paracha and Punjab Governor Latif Khosa have been invited to take part in the meeting.

A five-judge bench headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa will resume the NRO judgment implementation case on August 8 and will question Prime Minister Raja Parvez Ashraf over writing a letter to the Swiss authorities for reopening graft cases worth $60 million against President Asif Ali Zardari.
