The CJ IHC remarked FIR was lodged in Lahore High Court (LHC) therefore, LHC should be approached. How can this court issue notice to police station of Lahore. You should not go there where there are difficulties for you.

It was taken the plea in the petition filed by Javed Latif that the cases registered in different cities be declared illegal. If I had spoken some thing wrong then only PEMRA can take action. Criminal cases cannot be made on criticizing the political leader.
