Pakistan's Supreme Court on 30 January 2012 granted two more months to the judicial commission probing the memo issue to complete its investigation. The apex court said the panel would decide on American businessman Mansoor Ijaz's request to record his statement outside the country.
A nine-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry also lifted a foreign travel ban on Pakistan's former ambassador to the US, Husain Haqqani, who had resigned after the scandal became public.
The Supreme Court had formed the commission on December 30 and given it four weeks to complete its investigation. The term of the commission would have ended on 30 January 2012.
