Chief Justice Athar Minallah declared the verdict he reserved earlier today. Female lawyer Kulsoom Khaliq filed the petition requesting the court to punish the PML-N supremo’s daughter and the ex-premier under the country’s contempt of court laws for “their intention to insult the judiciary”.
“The status of [ex-CJP] Saqib Nisar after his retirement is that of an ordinary citizen,” the top IHC judge observed before reserving the verdict.
“Judges should have a big heart as they sit at an exalted position.”
The petitioner stated that Abbasi said, “if Nawaz Sharif can go to jail, then why cannot Saqib Nisar”. The PML-N leaders used insulting words against the judiciary and attempted to bring it to disrepute by speaking ill of Saqib Nisar, she added.
Earlier, a female lawyer requested the high court to initiate contempt of court proceedings against them for “violating the dignity of justice”.
