Sale of Pakistani embassy's land: LHC to resume hearing of petition from February 7
The Lahore High Court (LHC) will resume hearing of petition from February 07, challenging sale of Pakistani embassy's land in Indonesia and Japan on order of former President Pervez Musharraf. Previously, Justice Asad Munir of LHC had declined to hearing petition on January 18 owing to personal reasons.
