The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Saturday announced that it would hear a petition seeking to initiate contempt of court proceedings against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on October 14.
A civil rights campaigner, Mehmood Akhtar Naqvi approached the SHC seeking initiation of contempt proceedings against the prime minister for reportedly using contemptuous language against Karachi judges.
Naqvi stated that Nawaz’ statement that “even judges were afraid of making decisions in Karachi” during a visit to Peshawar was contemptuous.
He claimed the prime minister used contemptuous language against Karachi judges, therefore he did not fulfill the requirements of articles 62 and 63 of the constitution.
Naqvi said such a statement was tantamount to disgracing the judges and it comes within the ambit of the contempt of court.
He requested the court to disqualify Nawaz as a member of the National Assembly (MNA) and prime minister of Pakistan and initiate contempt proceedings against him.
Accepting the petition, the court said it would hear it on October 14.
To some extent PM is right. Anyhow, lower judiciary and their staff including police and prosecutors are also not brave enough to dispense justice as we all desire to see.
Naqvi is idiot. And Courts are not suppose to follow any idiot.
Then why are they following Iftikhar Ch and Nawaz Sharif ?
Naqvi is civil right campaigner and is from public, not holding any mandate from people of Pakistan. CJP & NS are representative of Nation.
kudoo brained mns is tragedy born for this country and his subandi minshi finance minister compounding our miseries.scp must take earliest notice and he must go to save country
As long as Rana Sanaullah's cousin is CJP, Nawaz need not worry!!!
These few politicians own everything and everyone,including the judges,if it was that easy to bring them to justice,we wouldn't see them not only walking around free but also running the country.So do yourself and everyone a favor and don't waste the time that could be used towards something of value and importance.
Another Topi Drama by black robe jokers
To some extent NS was right as whole the society in Karachi is dictated by one political party. Schools, colleges, universities and business centres are closed out at one call due to fear. All the witnesses are murdered in Wali Baber case and real son of Mr. Randhawa is not willing to appear as witness. The recongnition of accused in Mr. Randhawa case and disagrement of the judge is clear example of what NS said.
Thanks for this interesting insight on the politics in Pakistan…
