Raja Pervez Ashraf on Tuesday submitted an unconditional apology in the Supreme Court over a contempt notice issued by the apex court in the Rental power projects (RPP) case.
According to details, Wasim Sajjad, the counsel for the former premier, submitted an unconditional apology letter in the Supreme Court and also requested the bench hearing the case to allow the withdrawal of Raja’s letter submitted to the chief justice of Pakistan.
Earlier in March, the Supreme Court had issued a contempt of court notice to former prime minister Raja Pervez Ashraf in the RPP case for trying to influence it by writing a letter to the chief justice asking him to constitute a commission to investigate the RPP case.
The chief justice remarked while giving his ruling that Raja Pervez Ashraf had attempted to approach the court for a separate commission which was tantamount to seeking “favours from the court without the completion of the due process.”
The court also observed that the writing a letter in his official capacity also amounted to influencing the court.
