During the hearing of a show-cause notice against him on Wednesday, property tycoon Malik Riaz submitted his reply in the Supreme Court, tendering an unconditional apology. A three-member bench of Justice Mian Shakirullah Jan, Justice Ejaz Afzal and Justice Athar Saeed was hearing the case. Riaz was issued the show-cause notice on June 13 for hurling allegations at Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry at his press conference on June 12. In reply to a court query, Riaz offered an unconditional apology and said he was sorry if his press conference had led to the obstruction of justice. Moreover, he submitted a separate request in the court for summoning Arsalan Iftikhar, son of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry. Riaz said his press conference was not targeted at the chief justice, adding that his meetings with Justice Iftikhar had been held with consent from the latter. He said he had no choice but to hold the briefing, adding that the aim of the press conference was “to expose Arsalan” and not to tarnish the image of the chief justice.

  1. This is a test for SC. They must follow rules and and do not give the impression that they are out to get anybody. They must decide on merit. They must not come across as dictators and do the right thing. If Riaz is guilty, then find him guilty. But they must not bend the rules just to find him guilty. Impartiality must be preserved no matter who is involved.

  2. Khudda kay wastay mauff ka do (Pardon me for God Sake), and he will reward you with two more plots via me. You see he is merciful and bestow his blessing by giving plots through humbles like me. So please. ……

  3. He did and does more for Pakistan then CJP and goverment, Riaz Malik for prime minister or president!!!!
