Lawyer Makhdoom Ali Khan urged the CJP to not fixed a hearing tomorrow at 1:00 pm because of Pakistan’s semifinal.
CJP said, “I didn’t even know about the semifinal. Why not we not hear the case tomorrow”, the CJP told the lawyers.
The PTI lawyer, Khawaja Haris said, “There case is already pending”. In response to Haris statement, Justice Mansoor said, “Mr Khawaja Haris, skip tomorrow’s hearing for the semi-final as you are also fond of cricket. If you [Khawaja Haris] don’t mind then we will keep on watching the match, while you keep on giving arguments.”
CJP Umar Ata Bandial came up with an interesting solution and said, “We will install big screen to watch the Pakistan-New Zealand match.” The CJP also prayed for Pakistan’s victory against New Zealand. He also hoped that tomorrow, the apex will end the case as soon as possible. “Till that the situation of the match will be interesting.”
