Judicial commission submitted its report in the Supreme Court on Monday.


A nine-member bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry resumed the hearing of Memogate scandal on Tuesday.

The larger bench includes Justice Mian Shakirullah Jan, Justice Jawad S Khwaja, Justice Khilji Arif Hussain, Justice Tariq Parvez, Justice Asif Saeed Khan Khosa, Justice Amir Hani Muslim, Justice Ijaz Ahmed Chaudhry and Justice Azmat Saeed.

During case proceeding, a report submitted by the Judicial Commission confirmed the authenticity of the memo and stated that former ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani had dictated its contents to Mansoor Ijaz for delivering it to former US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen.

The Supreme Court has ordered to issue notices and forward copies of the commission s report to all the respondents.

The case hearing has been adjourned for two weeks.

The scandal was unearthed when Pakistani-American businessman Mansoor Ijaz claimed last year of having received a message from Haqqani to deliver a confidential memo to Admiral Mike Mullen, regarding a possible military takeover.
