CJ warns against “abduction”

Islamabad: Pakistan’s deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, now under house arrest, has said any move by the government to shift him from the national capital would be tantamount to “abduction”.

A defiant Chaudhry sent an “order” to the apex court’s registrar on Wednesday to express his apprehension that he might be shifted to Quetta. A lawyer close to Mr. Chaudhry’s family told Dawn newspaper that his “order” directed Islamabad’s Inspector-General of Police to take “necessary action” to prevent him from being shifted outside Islamabad. — PTI
