Islamabad, Nov 7 (PTI) Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial is likely to deliberate Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's request for the constitution of a “full court commission” to probe his predecessor Imran Khan's allegations that he was among the three people who plotted the assassination bid on him, a media report said on Monday.
While Monday would be a hectic day at the Supreme Court as several high-profile cases would be heard, Chief Justice Bandial would consult fellow judges on Khan's allegation matter, The News International newspaper reported. Khan, 70, suffered a bullet injury in the right leg on Thursday last week when two gunmen fired a volley of bullets at him and others mounting on a container-mounted truck in the Wazirabad area of Punjab province, where he was leading a protest march against the Shehbaz-led government. A day after the attack on him, Khan alleged that three people -- Prime Minister Shehbaz, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, and Major General Faisal Naseer -- were behind the botched assassination attempt on his life.
Prime Minister Sharif addressed a press conference on Saturday and urged the Chief Justice to make a full court commission, including senior and junior judges, and also said he would send an official letter regarding the matter.
