Lahore: The Lahore High Court (LHC) said on Monday questioned the political activities of President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari.
A five-judge full bench of the LHC, headed by Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, has been hearing a petition seeking contempt of court proceedings against the president.
On May 12, 2011, the LHC declared that political activities by the president unconstitutional.
The bench remarked that if the presidency failed to respond positively to the court orders, the bench would rule on the matter accordingly.
Earlier during the hearing, federation’s counsel, Barrister Wasim Sajjad, submitted an application requesting to adjourn the proceedings.
The next in the case was set for March 29.
