The recently approved contempt law has been challenged in the Lahore Registry of the Supreme Court on Saturday. Petitioner Barrister Zafarullah stated that the new contempt law was a conspiracy to limit powers exercised by the judiciary and an attempt to amend the constitution. However, the new prime minister will be tried under the contempt law of 2003 and not the new one, as the action was initiated on the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) case under the law of 2003.
