A three-member bench led by the Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa and comprising Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Musarrat Hilali took up the petition filed by Brig (retd) Ali Khan.<\/p>\n

The petition was disposed of on the basis of withdrawal by the petitioner. The apex court further barred Khan from adding ‘brigadier’ before his name.<\/p>\n

The SC had earlier issued a notice to the petitioner through the Ministry of Defense on February 19, but the petitioner failed to appear before the court due to unavailability.<\/p>\n
