Author: Web Desk

ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Saqib Nisar on Monday dismissed contempt petition filed against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.

Supreme Court (SC) three-judge bench headed by Justice Nisar, while also including Justice Ijaz ul Ahsan dismissed the application remarking that ‘Nawaz Sharif does not hold any public office anymore’ hence the case is ineffective.

“Tell me what do you have against Nawaz in the case? Has he done out-of-turn promotions? He does not hold any public office anymore, so what action do we take against him?,” CJP questioned.
