The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has decided to indict former chief justice of Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) Rana Shamim along with other accused in the contempt of court case on January 7. Justice Minallah said Rana Shamim was told to produce the original affidavit in the court not send it to the IHC CJ. “I thought as the affidavit belonged to Shamim so he should be the one to open it,” Justice Minallah added. As per Rana Shamim, the document could have been leaked by the notary public. Ansar Abbasi said he approached Rana Shamim before publishing the story, adding that the conversation was also part of his report published in the newspaper.
