Islamabad: The Supreme Court will decide the fate of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani in contempt case today.
The Supreme Court would announce the judgment in Contempt of Court Matter regarding the implementation of judgment in NRO Case today.
A seven-judge bench headed by Justice Nasir-ul-Mulk on Tuesday had reserved its judgment in the contempt case initiated against Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani for failing to act on the apex court’s directives to reopen graft cases against President Asif Ali Zardari.
The court had asked Gilani’s counsel, Aitzaz Ahsan, to ensure that the premier is present in court when the verdict is announced on today (Thursday).
Prime Minister Gilani has announced that he would be appearing before the court for hearing the judgment.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani Wednesday addressing a meeting of his cabinet said he would appear in Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Thursday for the verdict in a contempt of court case that could decide his fate.
“The government has always respected the judiciary and acted on its orders and will continue to do so,” he said.
It will be for the third time that the prime minister will be appearing before the apex court.
The federal cabinet meanwhile has expressed confidence in the leadership of Prime Minister Gilani.
All coalition partners of PPP led government would accompany Prime Minister in SC while there were reports that PPP has directed its National and Sindh assembly members to be present in SC at the occasion of the verdict of the court.
