Supreme Court on Tuesday resumed hearing of PCO judges case. The bench comprising Justice Muhammad Sair Ali, Justice Mahmood Akhtar Shahid Siddiqui, Justice Jawad S Khawaja, Justice Khilji Arif Hussain and Justice Tariq Parvez was hearing contempt of court cases against PCO judges, who had violated the seven-member bench decision on November 3, 2007 and had taken oath under PCO. Aftab Bajwa advocate who filed contempt of court case against Gen (r) Musharraf, Gen Pervez Kayani and Core Commander sought more time from the court. Bajwa argued that the case under hearing pertained to the Nov 3 acts while his petition is also relevant. Justice Sair Ali told him that he would also be heard before the court ruling. Justice Hamad Ali Shahs counsel Kazim Raza sought benefit of doubt in the case, saying that the judges posts are most revered.
