The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday adjourned the hearing in the contempt of court case against former law minister Babar Awan to May 17.
According to a private TV channel, a two-judge bench of the apex court, comprising Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan and Justice Athar Saeed, heard the case.
During the hearing, Awan requested the court to defer the proceedings to a later date, DawnNews reported.
The court, accepting Awan’s plea, adjourned the hearing to May 17.
Awan is facing the contempt charge for his media jibe against the judiciary.
On April 10, Awan formerly tendered an apology to the Supreme Court, especially to Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, brother of Tariq Khosa, for his utterances against the judiciary.
