Islamabad:
Chief judge Yahya Afridi observed on Monday that certain judicial conclusions by granting a deposit to those accused in the affairs of violence of May 9, 2023 were incorrect. However, he ordered the lawyer for the Punjab government to reconsider his plea for the cancellation of the deposit.
While hearing Punjab calls against the granting of a deposit, the court suggested that the court of first instance be invited to finish the procedure in the three months and to submit a bimonthly report to the high court concerned.
The lawyer for the Punjab government told the Supreme Court that a memoir had been prepared concerning the violence of May 9. The lawyer added that the Court of First Instance had not decided on deposit requests in accordance with the law.
The chief judge noticed that the relevant equipment was still expected and that he had not yet been submitted to the court. He also observed that if an accused had misused the deposit, the law would take his course. He urged the lawyer to reconsider the pleas for the cancellation of the deposit.
In addition, during another question, the Supreme Court observed that the chief judge of the High Court of Lahore (LHC) wanted to send a message to the government on the reference against a judge, who was sent and the administrative judge also accepted.
The Supreme Court said that the LHC decision would not have had an impact on the careers of the Attorney General and the Court of Anti-Terrorism (ATC). The Afridian chief judge also declared that he did not want to interfere with the authority of the High Court.
The Supreme Court, while having the calls for the transfer of affairs related to the ATC Rawalpindi judge, confirmed the taxation of a fine of 200,000 rupees by appeal to the attorney general of Punjab.
