Lahore: A Pakistani court has dismissed a petition seeking registration of high treason case against former president and opposition Pakistan People's Party's co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari for his "anti-army" remarks.

Advocate Aftab Virk had filed the petition contending that Zardari used derogatory language against the Pakistan army in his June 2015 speech. He said the army was busy with operation Zarb-i-Azb and such a statement against it at this time was not good. "Zardari had committed treason by attacking and maligning the institution of army," the petitioner said and requested the court to try him under Article 6 of the Constitution. The chief justice had been hearing arguments from the petitioner side on the maintainability of the petition on previous hearings.
