Chaudry had been ordered by the apex court to ensure his presence in the court during the August 2 proceedings.
On July 11, the court had reserved the verdict.
The apex court had initiated contempt proceedings against Chaudry on account of “derogatory and contemptuous speeches/statements” with regard to the court, according to a notification issued on February 2.
In his response to the contempt notice, Chaudhry wrote that scandalising the court or doing anything that tends to bring the court into “hatred, ridicule or contempt is not even the last thing on the respondent’s mind”.
“Whatever has been said might have been taken into account without relevance to the context due to media reporting,” states the response.
