The Lahore High Court (LHC) here Saturday reserved its verdict in a petition filed by federal government to restrict movement of nuclear scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan and Khan's petition against such restriction. The court after hearing arguments from both the sides said the court would announce its judgement on March 11.
The Federation had taken plea that different foreign journalists in their articles had written that they were in communication with Dr Khan and also attributed sensitive discussion with him. The petitioner said that Dr Khan should either deny or admit the claims made by the journalists.
Dr AQ Khan also had filed an application challenging government ban on meeting his relatives and medical supplies to him under the garb of a court order and the judge had directed federal government to allow provision of medical facility to Dr AQ Khan and meeting with his relatives.
