Islamabad: Attorney General of Pakistan Irfan Qadir has raised objection on a five-member bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan hearing the multiple petitions against the contempt of court Act 2012.
The bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry comprises Justice Shakirullah Jan, Justice Khilji Arif Hussain, Justice Jawwad S Khawaja and Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani continued hearing the case on Thursday.
The AG, who began his argument in the case today, said raised objection over the four judges included in the bench. He said that apparently the judges were biased. On this, the chief justice remarked that he was trying to defame the judiciary and this was not the first time that he attempted to do so.
Earlier on Wednesday, Abdul Shakoor Paracha, the federation’s counsel, concluded his argument in favour the law. He said that it was parliament duty to make law and judiciary’s duty was to explain the law.
