ISLAMABAD  -  The Supreme Court disposed of a suo motu notice against former Federal Minister for Science and Technology Azam Swati. The notice was taken by the then Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Saqib Nisar, over allegations of misuse of authority and transferring the Islamabad police chief for not siding with the minister’s son in a personal land dispute. The Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan and comprising Justice Jamal Mandokhail, Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Justice Syed Hasan Azhar Rizvi, and Justice Musarrat Hilali, heard the case. The Court observed that matters related to tax and property should be addressed by the relevant departments.
