Pakistan's Supreme Court (SC) has issued a notice to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government in a case that called to bar President Asif Ali Zardari from leaving the country.
The apex court has issued the notice in wake of a request to bar Zardari from leaving the country over the investigations to be held on the Abbottabad operation conducted by the United States on May 2, 2011 to kill Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the Express Tribune reports.
The ruling comes after memogate whistle blower Mansoor Ijaz had accused President Zardari of asking former ambassador to the U.S., Hussain Haqqani, to write a memorandum seeking Obama administration's help to prevent military takeover in the wake of Bin Laden's killing.
The court has also constituted a two-judge bench under the supervision of Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali and case's hearing has been scheduled for September 3, the report added.
Meanwhile, Zardari will be completing his presidential tenure on September 8.
The Abbottabad Commission report had earlier revealed the incompetency of the Pakistan government to track the hide-out of the world's most wanted militant, bin Laden.
The U.S. Navy Commando team had conducted a two-hour operation to kill bin Laden on the soil of Pakistan without the government knowing about it.
