Justice Asif Saeed Khosa has excused himself from hearing contempt of court case against former interior minister Senator Rehman Malik and has sent the case to Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Nasirul Mulk for fixing the case to some other bench.
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) stalwart Malik had earlier removed Khosa from investigation in the Steel Mills case and had constituted a joint enquiry team. The SC had issued contempt of court notice to Malik as the apex court had ordered Khosa to investigate the case.
The hearing of the case was adjourned till January 5, 2015.
