Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on Friday distanced himself from all pending cases against Bahria Town.
The hearing of cases against Bahria Town will be heard by a new judicial bench. A three-member bench headed by the CJP was hearing a case against the murder of Bahria Town’s guard. During the hearing, the CJP announced to recuse himself from all the cases related to Bahria Town.
The court said that the former chairman of Bahria Town, Malik Riaz, had accused the CJP and the Supreme Court on various accounts, which was why the court had initiated a contempt of court case against him. The court later adjourned the Bahria Town guard’s murder case until June 25.
