Atharminallah, CJ of IHC, coming hard on Ansar Abbasi over his story about claims of a GB judge.
Did you even check who was the judge hearing into the cases of Maryam and Nawaz Sharif, CJ IHC asks Ansar Abbasi
I and justice Amir Farooq were out of the country when all this happened, says CJ Atharminallah
My accountability is under question with your claims and you didn't name the judge and you cast aspersions, CJ tells Ansar Abbasi
All of a sudden scandals are being made to discredit judges of this court, says Atharminallah adding how a widely read newspaper can publish such affidavit.
If a certain judge make such claims, I would have sent the case immediately to supreme judicial council, says Atharminallah
He says now after four years such things are getting published when the relevant cases are being heard.
Ansar Abbasi wants to say something, the CJ says you can't say anything, you have done the damage.
Lawyer of Rana Shamim says he will appear soon and submit a reply. The lawyer wants the court to issue another notification on "language" being used by Faisal Vawada in Kashif Abbasi's program on ARY News.
Attorney general says the timing of this affidavit is very very serious and disturbing which questions the whole judiciary.
Atharminallah says it's a challenge for everyone of you, if you print an iota that my court or any of my judge take directions from somewhere or my judges meet someone even in chamber, I will be respo for it.
If you or Rana Shamim bring evidence to the court, I have no qualms in taking action against former CJ Saqib Nisar, the CJ tells Ansar Abbasi.
Ansar Abbasi says he is just a messenger, the CJ snubs him saying no you aren't. How can you publish such story?
Ansar Abbasi says he did not mention any judge or anyone but did a simple story.
Ansar Abbasi says proceed contempt proceedings against him but then there should be an inquiry into these claims. The CJ says no this forum is the inquiry.
Amir Ghauri, chief editor The News, says there was a document and they reported it. The CJ asks it wasn't filed or submitted before any court or forum.
The CJ takes exception in the statement of AA that he is just a messenger, nobody verified from the registrar or anyone.
CJ issues notices to Amir Ghauri, Mir Shakeel, AA and Rana Shamim. The court adjourns till November the 26th.
