Lahore High Court re-imposes security restrictions on AQ Khan | | The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday re-imposed security restrictions on nuclear scientist Dr.Abdul Qadeer
Khan, declaring the earlier verdict of the single-bench court as null and void.
A two-judge LHC bench headed by Justice Mian Saqib Nisar suspended the verdict
of LHC single bench, lifting the security protocol, after hearing an intra-court
appeal on a petition moved by the federal government. The federal government,
in its petition, said the Islamabad High Court (IHC) specified the security protocol
of Dr Khan, hence, the LHC is not authorized to nullify it, as it is not the substitute
court of IHC. The LHC had directed the district magistrate and DIG Islamabad to
end Khan's official protocol with immediate effect on August 28. The court also
summoned both officials to appear before it on September 4 and explain the reason
to keep Khan in captivity under the pretext of protocol. Khan had moved a petition
in the Lahore Court challenging his official protocol, terming it a hindrance.
