Justice Jawwad Khawaja has refused to take any action against those involved in displaying banners against him.

During the hearing of Geo petition in the Supreme Court (SC) on Friday, he remarked “The Almighty gives dignity or disgrace to whosoever He wills. I am not deterred by anyone. I do not care if someone displays hostile banners against me for three days or 30 days. I will not take action against those behind displaying banners against me.”

He further said, “No one should have an iota of doubt that whatsoever may be the truth will come out in the open,” adding “If someone is doubtful after dispensation of justice then he should get treatment. I will not tell him about the treatment.”

Advocate Akram Sheikh and private TV channel anchor Mubasher Lucman were also present in the court along with his counsels.

The court remarked that “the learned judge has to leave for Karachi and his flight schedule has come now. We may hear the matter to some extent and the remaining case will be heard on May 26, even if an entire day is spent on it”.

Advocate Sheikh told the court that Geo TV transmissions have been blocked in the entire country while the cable operators have no authority to do so as per the Supreme Court (SC)’s decision

Sheikh said he was going abroad and Taufiq Asif will appear in his place in the court.

Asif told the court that he was aggrieved over the display of banners against a SC judge, adding that a reply should be sought from those found responsible for the act.

The hearing of the case was adjourned till May 26.
