SC clarifies report on allegedly stolen immunity papers

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Saturday issued a clarification concerning a news item reported earlier in the week about missing documents on presidential immunity from the residence of one of its judicial officers.
A press statement issued by the Registrar office said that a news story gave the impression that the registrar had confirmed that some precious documents had been stolen from the house of the officer.
Yousuf Jan Marwat, the judicial officer from whose residence the said documents were allegedly stolen, was “not required to write any such thesis nor assigned any research work,” the statement said.
The statement added: “Yousaf Jan is a judicial assistant working in the records section in the Supreme Court of Pakistan in Islamabad. He has nothing to do with the research work in the Court. He has not been entrusted with any such work.”
