When PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif reached the Supreme Court on Thursday, the court officials welcomed him with special protocol as, due to his arrival, entry passes to other people were also not issued.
Supreme Court Additional Registrar Sajid Mehmood Qazi issued instructions in particular to the security officials deployed there regarding protocol of Nawaz Sharif.
When Nawaz Sharif entered the premises of the Supreme Court at the hearing of the memogate scam, he was received by the high officials. He was taken to the court No 1, but by taking advantage of leniency by the security officials, his armed guards also entered the court along with weapons, which was against the decorum of the court.
It has been the routine for the court that the security is beefed up to red alert level on the hearings of important cases and special passes are issued to the selected people but this time no one was allowed to enter the court premises except Nawaz Sharif, his companions and journalists.
The full bench of the court had to hear another case regarding duel membership of Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif but it could not hear the case as all the three judges including Justice Shakir Ullah Jan, Justice Jawad S Khawaja and Justice Ijaz Amjad Chaudhary were included in the larger bench which is conducting the hearing of the memo scam.
