September 23, 2024

The Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice Alia Neelum heard case of fake video of Punjab spokesperson Azma Bokhari and ordered the Director General of the Federal Investigation Agency (DG FIA) to present the complete records related to the case including his travel history. LHC Chief Justice Neelum questioned the absence of the FIA DG, to which the federal government's advocate responded that the DG is currently attending an official meeting in China. LHC CJ demanded to know when the DG would return and emphasized the importance of proper procedure, stating, "When an authority leaves the country, there should be an NOC and permission. You don’t seem to know anything." LHC CJ warned FIA against evading the court, stressing, "Do not try to mislead the court." The court ordered that the DG FIA must appear at the next hearing, set for September 30, with all relevant documents, including boarding passes and travel history.
