The Lahore High Court (LHC) has appointed Punjab Additional Advocate General (AAG) Khan Gul as prosecutor in contempt of court case against Mubashar Luqman, anchor person of a private TV channel.
A five-member bench of LHC presided over by Justice Mazahir Ali Akbar Naqvi took up the case for hearing Tuesday.
Mubashar Luqman appeared in the court and filed his statement. He said that he respected judiciary and he had not conducted any anti judiciary program.
