Court: (US Defence and Air Attaché doesn’t possess absolute immunity: IHC)

ISLAMABAD: Islamabad High Court (IHC) has ruled that US Defence and Air Attaché Colonel Emanual Joseph do not have absolute immunity.

The court also granted two weeks to the Ministry of Interior Affairs to decide over placing his name on the Exit Control List (ECL).

IHC Justice Aamer Farooq on Friday read out its earlier reserved verdict over the killing of a Islamabad resident Ateeq Baig, after he was hit by a vehicle driven by Joseph last month.
