ISLAMABAD: Former army chief General Aslam Beg on Monday appeared before the Supreme Court in Asghar Khan case.

Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar had directed the court office to fix the case on May 7 to hear the review petitions against 2012 judgment by the apex court in the famous Asghar Khan case.

A three-member bench headed by the chief justice is conducting the proceedings.

The case has once again come into the limelight at a time when the plaintiff Asghar Khan, former president Ghulam Ishaq Khan, former premier Benazir Bhutto, former interior minister Major General (retd) Naseerullah Babar and a key witness Abdul Hafeez Pirzada are no more in this world.

When the hearing resumed, the CJP asked the former COAS to begin his arguments if he has not engaged any lawyer. On this, Beg requested time to prepare for the case saying he was informed about the case a couple of days ago.

The chief justice refused to grant more time and told the former chief that the hearing would not be adjourned at any cost.

In 1996, Asghar Khan wrote a letter to the-then chief justice of Pakistan Nasim Hassan Shah alleging that Ghulam Ishaq Khan, General Aslam Beg, DG ISI Lt. Gen Asad Durrani and ex-Habib Bank Sindh chief and Mehran Bank owner Younis Habib had doled out Rs140 million among several politicians ahead of the 1990 polls to ensure Benazir Bhutto’s defeat in the polls.

On October 19, 2012, the apex court issued a 141-page verdict under the-then chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry declaring that the 1990 elections were rigged. The court had ordered the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to investigate the fraudulent elections and initiate legal proceedings against the two Generals.

General Beg and Gen Asad Durrani filed appeals against the apex court’s decision. The apex court on Friday approved the petitions for hearing and sent notices to the affected parties. Khan, who passed away in January this year, was represented in the Supreme Court by renowned lawyer Salman Akram Raja.

Good to see SC finally taking up this case again. The verdict came in 2012 but nothing was done.

Lets see the Nooras come on here.

Let's see if ex Army chief also blames khalai makhlooq for their interference in this case were both ISI and Nawaz Sharif are accused of conspiring against a democratically elected government.

Is this Yahoodi saazish against you?

Another thing to note, Nawaz Sharif used to even accept small amount of Rs35 lakh back in late 80s/early 90s then how on earth did he afford flats worth millions of pounds in London? Meray dada jaddi phusti Arab pati thay phir bhi meray abba 20/30 lakh le k government gira detay thay

Asghar Khan case shows the history Army's corruption. They went after PPP with everything they had, power, money, corrupt politician. Army never wants to have strong leader or democratic institutions established in the country. People will label this as corruption of one General, but that is dishonesty. Ayub, Zia, Baig, Musharif, Kayani list is very long, its not about these people, it reflects the policies and culture of Army. When we are going to open our eyes and go after the real big fish

Educated democrats have realised it. Bilawal has been pelted with stones because He said something which Khalai makhlooq could not tolerate. Remember post Dr Asim & Sharjeel Memon’s cases Asif Ali Zardari dragged PPP towards Establishment again where we saw what they did in balochistan and senate elections.

But two days ago Bilawal did a press briefing where again he manifested PPP’s democratic norms through strong words and today he was greeted by stones.

I feel really embarrassed when he talks in Urdu, I would never do so if my Urdu was so bad. I remember his speech from the other day regarding 90 days or so where he first said kaun si navve din, then kaun sa navve din and then by mistake had a kaun sai navve din in there too I think. Just

Maybe it was poor Urdu that led to the stoning.
