LAHORE: Another alleged audio clip of former Chief Justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar and lawyer Khawaja Tariq Rahim went viral on the social media on Tuesday.
In the leaked audio, both are heard holding discussion about the contempt of court case.
Saqib Nisar said, “Khawaja, I want to say something,” to which Khawaja Tariq responded with a yes.
Saqib Nisar said, “You should definitely see one judgment, it has 7 members of the bench.” Khawaja Tariq asked in response, “How much?”.
Former Chief Justice said that this will be a suo motu case, number 4 of 2010, and this 7-member judgment is reported on Supreme Court page number 553 of 2012.
Khawaja Tariq said, “Okay, let me check,” to which Saqib Nisar replied, “Ask your lawyer to have a look at it. It depends on whether, brother, if…Anyway, let’s leave it, when you read it, you will understand yourself.”
Saqib Nisar responded, “Yes, Chief Justice. Khawaja Tariq said that he has also given a way out in it. Please have a look,”.
The former Chief Justice said, “Yes, I have seen it. We have that way out. ” To which Khawaja Tariq replied, “Yes, we have that way out,”.
At this, Saqib Nisar said, “That’s the way out, otherwise the case cannot be made.” To which Khawaja Tariq replied, “Yes, absolutely right. I will also look into this.”
The former Chief Justice said, “And Khawaja Sahib, if you have someone ready, use Munir Ahmed Khan as well. It is a clear case of contempt of court.”
Khawaja Tariq responded, “That is also being done.”
Saqaib Nisar said, “Whatever happened yesterday in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, nothing can happen after that.” Khawaja Tariq replied, “We are waiting for the order of the three-member bench. It can take another hour or half an hour, and after that, we will file a contempt of court case.”
In response to Khawaja Tariq, Saqaib Nisar said, “Alright, that’s fine. Thank you, sir.”
