ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar on Monday said that no one would be allowed to destroy the system, adding that ridiculing the courts was unbearable. The CJP dismissed the petition filed by the Lahore High Court (LHC) Multan Bench, calling it inefficient. While hearing the petition, he remarked that these were not the kind of courts where brawls could occur anytime. “The courts are empowered to deal with anyone,” he added. Justice Saqib Nisar stated that certain lawyers were trying to destroy the courts for their politics. He spoke against the contempt of court, declaring it unbearable and unwanted for the system. He asked the lawyers to send their representatives in the chamber, but only after taking appointment. The behaviour and conduct should be appropriate, he added. A small group of lawyers had filed a petition in the apex court and demanded it to declare illegal the orders of LHC Chief Justice Mansoor Ali Shah to suspend judicial work at the Multan Bench.
