SC issues notice to federation in Sharif plane hijacking case
Submitted 7 hrs 41 mins ago The Supreme Court of Pakistan approved on Monday an appeal filed by Pakistan Muslim League-N Quaid Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif in plane hijacking case for hearing. The apex court also issued notice to the federation against sentences awarded to Nawaz Sharif in plane hijacking case. According to sources, the SC larger bench is presently hearing the Sharif’s electoral eligibility case and the plane hijacking case. Nawaz’s counsel Khawaja Haris argumented in the court that the appeal in plane hijacking case could not be filed on time since Nawaz Sharif was deported twice soon after the apex court had given a verdict in his case. Haris said Nawaz Sharif was the prime minister and defence minister of Pakistan at that time and had authority to pass orders to divert the plane in case of an emergency situation.

Prime Minister and Defence Minister, cool, why did he leave out ministry for investment, housing and others
interesting. IF, Nawaz Sharif is found innocent of the hijacking charges, what implication can this have on Musharraf? do you think he will brought to trial as well?
even more interesting is the fact that there have been whispers of Obama administration being in talks with Nawaz Sharif, and IF he is cleared through SC, will he come to replace Zardari or Gilani?
If NS should come, it should be after next elections. Anything before that would mean people will stop believing in democracy.
I didn’t know a PM was allowed to hold more ministries.
