SC Not Entitled to Annul President’s Immunity: Aitzaz Ahsan

Lahore, Pakistan News: Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan has said that Supreme Court could not do away with the immunity enjoyed by the President in criminal suits.
Talking to media outside Lahore High Court, Aitzaz said that the laundered money could be brought back to the country under civil suits. He noted that in 2007, he argued in a case against Musharraf that the president got immunity vis-à-vis criminal cases under Article 248, while he did not enjoy indemnity regarding civil suits.
He added that the President could only be removed through impeachment.
