The High Court of Pakistan's province of Sindh directed the interior ministry on Tuesday to withdraw the request made to the Interpol for issuance of red notices against the country's former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.
The Interpol notices were sought by the government in late 2005 after an anti-corruption court asked that they be issued to bring Bhutto back to Pakistan to face trial.
The Interpol issued "red notices" in Jan. 2006 but no follow-up action was taken against Bhutto.
Interpol said at the time that the notices were not arrest warrants and member countries would decide whether to take any action.
Bhutto, 54, has been in self exile since 1998.
