QUETTA: The Judicial Academy Balochistan on Sunday termed Supreme Court Special Branch report regarding the academy as baseless and misleading.
Judicial Academy Director General Rashid Mahmood said the academy was operational at an old building situated on Anscomb Road in Quetta. He said the academy was only for educational purpose.
Rashid Mahmood said there was no residential facility in the building. Hence, the SC Special Branch report regarding Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) Senator Azam Swati is baseless.
Earlier, the Supreme Court on Sunday claimed that Senator Muhammad Azam Swati never used/stayed in Supreme Court Judges’ Rest House at Quetta.

However, according to the Special Branch, Balochistan, Azam Swati during the aforesaid visit stayed at Balochistan Judicial Academy (Judicial Complex Quetta), which is not under the control of the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
According to a press release issued by the SC PRO, a press conference of Senator Muhammad Azam Khan Swati has been circulated in electronic/social media whereby it is alleged that during his stay at Supreme Court Judicial Lodges, Quetta, some objectionable video was recorded.
“Supreme Court Judges Rest House, Quetta is being managed and supervised by the Registrar Office Supreme Court of Pakistan Islamabad and is meant for the use of Hon’ble serving and former Judges of the Supreme Court of Pakistan,” it added.
On November 5, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had termed inappropriate video of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) Senator Azam Khan Swati fake.
The FIA in a statement had said the obscene video which is circulating on internet about Senator Azam Swati has been analysed forensically and found to be fake.
“The initial video/ audio and frame to frame forensic analysis has been carried out on the viral video as per international forensic analysis standard. Initial forensic analysis revealed that the video has been edited and different video clips have been joined with defaced faces,” it had said.
