Islamabad:
The acting chief judge of the High Court of Islamabad (IHC) Sardar Muhammad Sarfraz Dogar opposed Thursday at the crowd of lawyers gathered at La Rostrum during the hearing of 190 million pounds sterling, wondering if they tried to put pressure on the court and reminded them that such behavior had violated the hearing room.
An IHC division bench including the acting chief judge and judge Muhammad Asif heard the chief boss of the PTI Imran Khan and his spouse Bushra Bibi for the suspension of the sentence in the case.
During the hearing, the lawyer for the lawyer for the PTI Salman Safdar appeared before the court on behalf of the petitioners, accompanied by a large number of lawyers at the Rostre.
The acting chief judge opposed the crowd of lawyers for the Rostre. “If only one lawyer argues, why are so many people gathered? Do you try to put pressure on [the court]? This is not the audience decorum. The rest should sit down. If this situation persists, I will not hear this affair. “”
The special prosecutor for Nab Javed Arshad asked for four weeks to prepare, noting that he had been named one day ago and that the case involved long volumes of files.
Lawyer Safdar argued that under the direction of Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi, Nab had already informed his prosecution team and, on June 5, prosecutor Rafay Maqsood said they were not ready to discuss.
Barister Safdar also stressed that one of the condemned is a woman and, in accordance with the practice, the sentences of women are often suspended.
He asked the court to give them an opportunity to start their case, saying that this would only ensure transparency.
Arshad replied that he deserved an “fair opportunity” to prepare because he had never been part of the case before. I need time to review the file, he said.
Barrister Safdar noted that the case had finally been set after a long delay and asked that the hearing be scheduled for Monday.
The court accepted NAB’s request requesting the time of preparation for the case and postponed the hearing, declaring that the next date would be announced later.
