The Supreme Court of Pakistan conducted hearing of Article 62(1)(f) case.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan on Thursday conducted hearing regarding Article 62(1)(f) case under Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar.

The CJP inquired during the proceedings that how can a dishonest man be declared honest after five days. Advocate Kamran Murtaza replied that the concept of repentance exists.

Justice Azmat Saeed remarked that abusing and cursing publicly are not the ways to seek apology from the apex court in disqualification cases.

Mian Saqib Nisar commented that one individual claims he has been treated unfairly by the court as he has committed nothing wrong.

He said the judiciary is completely independent, and there is a proper way to ask for forgiveness. The disqualified person should first accept his crime publicly, the CJP maintained.
