Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar on Tuesday, while hearing the Bani Gala case, remarked that perhaps Additional Attorney General Nayyar Abbas Rizvi was removed from his post for speaking the truth.
The government sacks those who stand up for justice, he said.
A three-judge bench headed by the chief justice heard a suo motu case against illegal constructions in the Bani Gala suburbs of the federal capital.
As the hearing went under way, Justice Nisar inquired, “What is the update on regularisation of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s residence and has he submitted a request for it?” “Is there a delay in the regularisation of properties only because of Imran Khan?” the top judge questioned. Justice Nisar sought details of those who have applied for regularisation of their properties and those who have deposited the regularisation fee. The Capital Development Authority (CDA) chairman informed the court that over 100 applications had been received.” At this, the chief justice questioned whether further information and documents have been sought from the applicants. Deputy Attorney General Nayyab Gardezi appeared before the bench and sought time for the preparation of the case.
