Secretary Defence Lieutenant General Asif Yasin Malik (Retd) on Tuesday submitted an unconditional apology to the Supreme Court of Pakistan over contempt of court notice. In his response, Asif Yasin Malik regretted for not holding the local bodies elections in the cantonment board areas despite court orders. The apex court had issued contempt of court notice on October 12 during the hearing of a case regarding the holding of local bodies' elections in all the cantonment board areas in the country.
The court had observed that the Secretary Defence failed twice to fulfil his commitments made before the court which was tantamount to the contempt of court. On Tuesday, the former army general filed his written apology to the court through his counsel Iftikhar Gilani advocate and expressed regret over his failure.
