ISLAMABAD
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday approved the petition of Iman Mazari, the daughter of former federal minister Shireen Mazari, to dismiss the case against her for using offensive language against the army.
IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah approved the petition for the dismissal of the case. The lawyer for Iman Mazari adopted before the court, “We became part of investigation despite our reservations. We were giving our statements to the police; the police were writing something else.”
He also told the court, “We had told the police we will submit a written statement ourselves. We had said on the very first day that there is no justification for the word that was spoken [by Iman Mazari].” The IHC chief justice, in his remarks, said: “Iman Mazari is an officer of the court. She should not have said such words.”
