SC rubbishes news about recovery of bugging devices from judge’s chamber

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Tuesday termed baseless and concocted the news about the recovery of bugging or surveillance devices from the chambers of a judge of the court.

“A news item currently circulating on social media platforms, alleging the recovery of bugging or surveillance devices from the chambers of an honorable judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, is completely baseless, unfounded, and concocted”, says a press release issued by the apex court. 

The SC clarified that no such incident has taken place. 

“The Supreme Court of Pakistan strongly denies the veracity of this false claim, which appears to be aimed at misleading the public and undermining the dignity and integrity of the judiciary,” the statement added.
