Pakistan court rejects plea seeking probe into 'threat letter'

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday dismissed a plea seeking to place the names of the former prime minister Imran Khan and ex-ministers on the Exit Control List (ECL) and an investigation into an alleged threat letter, local media reported.

IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah issued a five-page long reserved verdict against the plea, while slapping a Pakistani Rs 100,000 fine on the petitioner, Geo News reported.
