Federal Constitutional Court disposes of Arshad Sharif suo motu case

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) on Tuesday disposed of a suo motu case initiated on the killing of prominent journalist Arshad Sharif in Kenya, ruling that judicial oversight of the ongoing investigation was impermissible under Pakistani law.

The court emphasised that the matter was being handled through diplomatic channels and a Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) agreement between Pakistan and Kenya had also already been reached.

The 14-page judgment was authored by Justice Aamer Farooq and disposed of all pending applications.
