The Supreme Court on Monday adjourned hearing of the intra-court appeal of former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani for three weeks.
Gilani filed an intra-court appeal last week against his disqualification by a seven-member larger bench of the court in the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) implementation case.
During the course of proceeding, the CJP remarked that the appeal was filed in the court after passing of 204 days, which was time-barred.
Justice Khilji Arif Hussain said that the former prime minister had to explain the reasons for the delay in filing of his appeal.
The court observed that Gilani sought review of court verdict pertaining to his disqualification; however, the bench had clarified that the appeal couldn’t be taken up unless the same sets aside his conviction.
However, the court later on adjourned hearing for three weeks directing the former prime minister to explain his stance for the delay in filing of the appeal.
