Riaz contempt case adjourned until formation of new bench

Justice Asif Saeed Khosa on Wednesday excused himself from further sitting in the bench hearing contempt case against real estate tycoon Malik Riaz. The case was adjourned until the formation of a new bench. A three-member bench of the Supreme Court heard the case against Malik Raiz regarding his off-air footage. Malik Riaz’s counsel Barrister Ali Zafar said the footage was stolen during the run of a programme and the mentioned video was unverified hence the evidence regarding the programme were unacceptable. Justice Khosa agreed saying he was also of the same opinion. Later on, he retracted himself from the bench and adjourned the case until the formation of a new bench.
