The Supreme Court (SC) has adjourned for three weeks the hearing in contempt of court case against President Asif Ali Zardari, former prime minister Raja Pervez Ashraf, Senator Rehman Malik, the chief election commissioner and others.
President Asif Ali Zardari and former prime minister Ashraf were issued contempt of court notices by the SC for not implementing court’s verdict in dual nationality case.
A three-member bench presided over by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry took up the case for hearing on Thursday.
The court maintained, “We want to hear the case in detail, therefore, the hearing is being adjourned for three weeks”.
The contempt of court petition was filed by Mehmood Akhtar Naqvi.
