Bench constituted for contempt of court action on campaign against judges of Islamabad High Court

Islamabad: The Islamabad High Court constituted two separate larger benches for contempt of court proceedings following the letters written by the judges on the social media campaign against Senior Judge Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kiani and Justice Babarstar.

Islamabad High Court has constituted two larger benches for contempt of court proceedings, which will hear the case of Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani and Justice Babarstar separately.

A three-member larger bench of Islamabad High Court comprising Chief Justice Amir Farooq, Justice Mian Gul Hasan Aurangzeb and Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir will hear the case of Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani.

Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri and Sardar Ejaz Ishaq Khan will be part of the bench for contempt of court proceedings on Justice Babar Sattar’s letter.

The cause list of the two cases will be issued tomorrow for contempt of court proceedings on the campaign against the judges of the Islamabad High Court and will be fixed for hearing.

It should be noted that a negative campaign was being conducted on social media on Justice Babarstar due to dual citizenship and other allegations, on which Justice Babarstar had written a letter to the Chief Justice for contempt of court proceedings.

Justice Babarstar had earlier issued a clarification on the allegations leveled against him and rejected all the allegations.

Later, Justice Mohsin Akhtarkiani also wrote a letter for contempt of court proceedings against him, in which he said that contempt of court proceedings should be initiated against the malicious campaign.
