Supreme Court (SC) has adjourned the contempt proceedings against the former Federal Law Minister and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Babar Awan on his request till April 02.
The court was all set to frame contempt charge against him; but, Awan informed the court his counsel Ali Zafar is leaving for India and is currently in Lahore for making arrangements for the visit.
He prayed to the court to indict him on contempt charge in presence of his counsel.
‘I do not demur at the indictment, if it is made today; however, I want it to be in the presence of my lawyer,’ he requested the court.
Granting his plea, the court adjourned the further proceedings till April 2.
