LHC says CJ had no knowledge of Davis deal News Desk Friday, March 18, 2011 http://www.thenews.com.pk/TodaysPrintDetail.aspx?ID=4704&Cat=13&dt=3/... LAHORE: Registrar of the Lahore High Court has said in a statement that the LHC has noted with great regret the unsubstantial and conjectural news item appearing in a section of the press on March 17th, 2011, maligning the Honourable Chief Justice of the Lahore High Court, Lahore, by alleging that he had knowledge of the compromise eventually effected between Raymond Allan Davis and heirs of the deceased. The Registrar LHC categorically denied that any information in this behalf was made available to the Chief Justice or he had acted on the advice of chief minister Punjab or any other government functionary while exercising his judicial function. It is expected that the media shall act with responsibility and refrain from publishing incorrect and unverified matter, particularly with reference to the judiciary, he added. Ahmad Noorani adds: With regard to the chief justice of the Lahore High Court, the report in The News only mentioned that comments had been made on the media and ìsome leadersî had ìclaimedî that he was also on board and acted on 'suggestion' of Shahbaz Sharif but The News had also in the same sentence clarified that these claims could not be verified from independent sources. The News actually negated the propaganda against the court by pointing out that what was being telecast and discussed on different news channels had not been confirmed by independent sources. The News story clearly stated that Pakistan Army, ISI and Punjab chief minister were the major players to get Raymond free. We maintain that The News has always respected and will continue to respect the independent judiciary of the country. Is there any MoU for My Lords?
