                         But Federal Secretary Information Agha Nadeem who is working for chaudris of Gujrat tried to save the name of some journalists by shortening their names that's why no one knows who is Ashraf. Information ministry play a game with court and journalists that is shameful and unacceptable. Some journalists facing serious embarrassment because their name sake got secret fund and ministry information for hiding the names of their touts created mistrust among journalist community.

                          Very clean journalist Mr Mohammad Saleh Zaafir got more than six lac rupees besides two dozen foreign tours owner of Ab TAK formerly APNA TV channel Sajjad Hussain Shah son in law of legendary hero Waheed Murad used secret fund as his personal account and enjoyed five star hotels air tickets and chauffer driven cars. Firy anchor Jasmine Manzoor enjoyed air tickets twice and Nazir Naji Iftkhar Ahmed of Geo Election Cell Raza Rumi of Jinnah Institute Sohail Warraich of Geo TV Amir Mir of daily Jang and brother of Hamid Mir , Shoaib Bhutta an anchor of PTV who is also getting quarter a million as salary from PTV , two lacs from National Bank and three million on account of ads for his dummy newspaper also got handsome amount from Secret Fund.

ORDER

Jawwad S. Khawaja, J.- We have heard this case at some length today. On 17.4.2013 

and orders previous to that, we had sought the input of the Ministry of Information and 

Broadcasting. In particular, we had asked the Ministry to file one list (List 'A') containing 

itemized particulars of those expenditures by whatever name called, for which the Ministry 

now does not claim privilege or secrecy although such privilege had been claimed in the 

past. The Ministry has today filed list 'A' containing 282 items on which an amount of 

Rs.1,77,988,450/- has been spent approximately. It is, therefore, ordered that this list 'A' be 

made public and be placed on the website of this Court. Mr. Hasnain Ibrahim Kazmi, ASC 

who represents PEMRA states that the list 'A' will also be placed on the PEMRA website.

2. List 'B' in respect of items on which privilege/secrecy is claimed has also been filed 

in Court. This list contains 174 items on which a sum of Rs.8,68,13,633/- has been spent. 

However, in respect of items covered in list 'B' the Ministry has today stated that although Const.P.105/12, etc. 3

these items were not subjected to audit by the Auditor General of Pakistan, the Ministry 

concedes that these expenditures are under the Constitution and the Auditor General's 

(Functions, Powers and Terms and Conditions of Service) Ordinance, 2001, liable to audit 

by the Auditor General of Pakistan. We, therefore, direct that a senior functionary of the 

office of the Auditor General of Pakistan should attend the Court on 25.4.2013 to inform the 

Court about how long it would take to audit the items mentioned in list 'B'. Appropriate 

orders in respect of the items in list 'B' shall be passed on the next date of hearing. The 

senior functionary of the Auditor General's office should also inform the Court about the 

time which may be required to undertake an audit of the past expenditures which have 

escaped audit so far. 

3. CMA No.2250/2013. This is an application filed by Raja Aamir Abbas learned 

counsel representing the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. It is alleged therein that 

Mr. Hamid Mir one of the petitioners, while appearing in a talk show titled 'Kal Tak' 

hosted by Javed Chaudhry, used such language which the Ministry finds to be 

objectionable as it amounts to an attempt to influence the proceedings in Constitution 

Petition No. 105/2012 etc. Mr. Hamid Mir shall submit reply of this application before the 

next date of hearing. List 'B' shall be sealed and the sealed cover shall be deposited with the 

Registrar of this Court. 

4. To come up on 25.4.2013. 

5. Constitution Petition No. 104 of 2012. This Constitution petition shall be separated 

from the Constitution Petition No. 105/2012 etc. and shall be listed for hearing on 13.5.2013.
