ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, while hearing the Memogate case on Tuesday, said that the Supreme Court had asked President Asif Ali Zardari to submit his reply in the memogate scandal, but he had ‘chosen not to‘.
Presiding over a nine-member bench, the chief justice said that maybe President Zardari had his own reasons.
Attorney general argued that the court should not hear the petitions because the question of enforcement of fundamental rights was not involved as required under Article 184(3) of the Constitution
