Islamabad: Supreme Court of Pakistan has finally taken notice of the harsh comments of PPP leader Faisal Raza Abidi made against the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, here on Wednesday.
Earlier in August, Faisal Raza Abidi had hurled serious allegations against the judges at a press conference, claiming “a judicial martial-law has been imposed in the country.”
The firebrand PPP senator had made allegations of prejudice against Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, and had demanded resignations of the reinstated judges who had taken oaths under the Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO).
According to sources, the Supreme Court Registrar Fakir Hussain, on the instructions of Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, has sent a letter to Federal Interior Secretary Khawaja Siddiq Akbar, Director General (DG) Federal Investigative Authority (FIA) Muhammad Anwar Virk, and the Inspector General (IG) Islamabad Police Bin Yamin.
The Registrar ordered the three officials to conduct an inquiry against the PPP senator’s alleged ‘malicious campaign against the judiciary’ and the Chief Justice.
In the letter, the SC Registrar also directed the officials to investigate whether Abidi’s comments were made in a deliberate attempt to malign the Chief Justice and the Supreme Court. The officials are directed to submit a report to the Registrar office within seven days.
