Attorney General Pakistan Sardar Latif Khan Khosa has said the federal government would not withdraw its appeal against the disqualification of PML-N Chief Mian Nawaz Sharif. Replying to reporters' queries after appearing before a division bench of the Lahore High Court Khosa refused to answer a question on the controversy of Chief Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar.
Attorney said, he could not comment on the subject, as he was appearing before the apex court in the same case. The attorney general said a judge could not be summoned in the assembly but added the National Assembly's Standing Committee had called Justice Dogar in his capacity as father of a student.
"Mian Nawaz Sharif has also sought recommendations with regard to this matter from constitutional experts," he said. Asked why not the controversy about Justice Dogar be taken by the parliament when it could decide what to do with the deposed chief justice, the attorney general said "all matters shall be dealt with in accordance with the law and the constitution".
