IHC turns down plea against Nawaz Sharif
ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT ONLINE):Islamabad High Court (IHC) Monday dismissed an intra court appeal (ICA) seeking a contempt
of court proceeding against former prime minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and
declared the petition as non maintainable.
A divisional bench comprising Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Mian Gul Hassan Aurengzaib
took up the ICA against former prime minister filed by a citizen Makhdoom Niaz
Inqalabi.
The petitioner had stated in his plea that Nawaz Sharif had criticized the judges
of apex court during his march from Islamabad to Lahore after his
disqualification. It came under the contempt of court, he claimed.
After hearing the arguments, the court dismissed the case and declared it
non-maintianable.
It may be mentioned here that earlier a single member bench of the same case had turned
down this petition and the petitioner had filed an ICA against this decision.
