ISLAMABAD, Jan 2: Former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has moved a petition before the Supreme Court seeking a review of its June 19, 2012, order disqualifying him from holding a seat in parliament for committing contempt of court.
Instead of filing through his counsel, the former premier himself sent the petition by post, a court source confided to Dawn.
He said the court’s department concerned had still not made up its mind how to treat the petition.
A decision whether to return the petition on the grounds that normal procedure had not been followed or fix it before a bench for hearing would be taken on Thursday, the source said.
The contentions raised in the petition are not known.
Dear visitor, the comments section is undergoing an overhaul and will return soon.
