Memo case: Federation files reply, asks SC to dismiss petitions

The Federation, while filing reply in the Supreme Court regarding the controversial memo case, challenged its hearing by the apex court.The Federation submitted its reply in the Supreme Court through the Attorney General of Pakistan, Molvi Anwarul Haq. It was pleaded in the reply that a parliamentary committee has already been constituted to look into the matter and the committee represents all the political parties in the parliament.It was also pleaded that no forum except the parliamentary committee can look into the issue. It was also said in the reply that the memo is fake and concocted and the person, who has raised it, has no link with Pakistan as he is a US national and his past is also dubious.It was also pleaded that the President, Prime Minister and the Federation have no connection in the matter and the Supreme Court cannot hear case.It was said in the reply that Parliament is supreme and the Supreme Court has no need and justification to hear the case in the presence of Parliament.The Supreme Court was requested to dismiss all such petitions in the light of the points as the case is not maintainable to be heard in the Supreme Court.
