July 3, 2021
ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) will indict Masood-ur-Rehman, an activist of Pakistan People’s Party and the alleged contemnor, over his derogatory speech against Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed.
A four-member larger bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Umar Ata Bandial, heard the contempt of court proceedings against the PPP activist. The court appointed Attorney General Khalid Javed to prosecute the alleged contemnor and adjourned the hearing for framing the charge.
In pursuance of court’s earlier order, Masood-ur-Rehman submitted a hand-written reply in the contempt matter. The court, however, expressed dissatisfaction over the reply and observed that the instant reply was not sufficient.

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) Tuesday rejected Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) candidate Ali Asjad Malhi’s plea to suspend the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) short order about re-polling in the National Assembly constituency NA-75 (Daska) in connection with by-elections. “We cannot decide the matter without listening to the other side,” Justice Umer Ata Bandial told the petitioner.
The apex court hinted at reserving on Friday, March 19, the judgment on re-holding of by-elections in the NA-75 Daska. A three-member SC bench, headed by Justice Umer Ata Bandial, heard the PTI candidate’s petition, challenging the ECP order of Feb 25, 2021, declaring the by-election at NA-75 void and ordering re-polling.
