The former chief judge noted that he mistakenly wrote down name of IHC's judge.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Former Gilgit-Baltistan chief judge Dr Rana Muhammad Shamim on Monday has tendered an unconditional apology to Islamabad High Court (IHC) in contempt of court case.

In a surprising turn of events, Rana Shamim has submitted an unconditional apology after he alleged that former chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nasir attempted to influence a case against the Sharif family.

In the apology, the former chief judge noted that he mistakenly wrote down name of IHC’s judge.

I made this grave mistake, which I deeply regret now and unconditionally apologize for,” the ex-chief judge maintained.

In May, Rana Shamim had challenged his indictment in contempt of court case in the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
