PHC quashes Asad Qaiser’s petition against FIA inquiry
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) - Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Tuesday quashed the petition of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Asad Qaiser, in which he challenged the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) inquiry against him in the prohibited funding case.
A PHC bench headed by Justice Lal Jan delivered a short verdict, while the court also directed the FIA to continue the inquiry. Asad Qaiser’s lawyer said that he will approach the Supreme Court against the verdict of the PHC.
It merits mention here that former Speaker of the National Assembly Asad Qaiser was summoned by the FIA in the prohibited funding case, against which he approached the Peshawar High Court, while after the lawyers for the parties had completed their arguments regarding the jurisdiction of the FIA, the court had reserved the decision.
