HomeToday's PaperTop Story FIA requests court to dismiss plea against Cynthia Ritchie
ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Tuesday requested the court to dismiss a plea against US blogger Cynthia Ritchie for her slanderous tweets about former prime minister Benazir Bhutto contending that the petitioner, PPP Islamabad President Shakil Abbasi, was not an affected party.
Additional District and Sessions Judge (ASJ) Atta Rabbani issued a notice to Cynthia seeking her response by June 13.
Atta Rabbani heard the case as duty judge.
The petitioner said the FIA was not taking action on a complaint filed against Ritchie for slandering slain PPP leader Benazir Bhutto on the social media.
The FIA argued that according to its rules, only the aggrieved party – the targeted victim or their guardian – could lodge such complaint with the agency.
The court also issued a notice to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), seeking its reply on the matter by June 13. The judge also accepted PTA’s appeal seeking more time to submit its reply, which was earlier sought by the court.
Director General Law PTA told the court that the authority had not received the notice earlier. He told the court that he appeared before the court after coming across media reports on the matter.
The court told him that he would have to file a reply, as the PTA was a respondent in the petition. Speaking to the media, the counsel for the petitioner said the FIA had agreed to register a case against Ms Ritchie.
