ISLAMABAD: Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday has declared admissible the petition filed against ex-prime minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz on their anti-judiciary speeches.
Justice Amir Farooq conducted hearing on the plea of Adnan Iqbal during which, the plaintiff said that Nawaz and Maryam are spreading anarchy against courts, adding that their speeches come under contempt of court, therefore, launch investigation against them, he urged.
Earlier, Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar on Sunday said that the top court will take notice of ousted premier Nawaz Sharif’s anti-judiciary speeches at an “appropriate” time.
The CJP expressed these views in response to a journalist’s query of why the SC is not taking notice over Nawaz’s speeches during the hearing of the suo motu case of eight-year-old Zainab’s rape and murder in Kasur.
“There is a proper time to take action in any matter,” remarked the CJP. He also said that they are not showing restraint, but will take notice in the matter at an ‘appropriate’ time.
“When we will decide to take notice no power in the world can force us to stop,” the CJP concluded.
On January 20, Mian Saqib Nisar had said that the courts have seldom tried people for contempt [of the court] despite so much criticism against the judiciary.
In December last year, the CJP had asked those criticising the courts to “not malign the judiciary if the verdict is against them”, also clarifying that the judges were not taking “dictation” from anyone.
In December last year, ousted premier Nawaz Sharif announced a campaign against what he called the “double standards” of the judiciary.
Nawaz Sharif announced the anti-judiciary drive after the top court gave a clean chit to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan but disqualified general secretary Jahangir Tareen on constitutional petitions filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hanif Abbasi.

Pakistan’s success story has yet to begin. We are essentially a Go-conscious Muslim country, governed by Islam Shariah. We don’t find even a semblance of this in country’s governance. Take the example of Zakat. What prevents Judiciary to enforce its promulgation? Do the Hon’ble Judiciary pay it? It is collected in billions in Banks from the Accounts of many people and misappropriated. It is a shame and a disgrace to find the Beggars and the Miskeen denied it to whom God has placed them at top of the list of 8 recipients of Zakat in Qur’an. Secondly, how sad that even Judiciary is iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii seems “blind” to as working political system from our time of our independence. Is this “Democracy” with cultist political parties fighting each other for political power without democracy’s working apparatus? Imran Khan has caused losses to the economy by his “Sit-ins” and Jalsa’s.
We are out goverened by sharia law, we have Pakistan laws, which are passed by the parliament and signed by the president,
