Justice Isa’s Wife Files Petition Seeking Contempt Of Court Case Against Fawad Chaudhry

Supreme Court (SC) judge Justice Qazi Faez Isa’s wife Sarina Isa has filed a petition seeking contempt of court case against Federal Minister Fawad Chaudhry over his tweet wherein he had told the judge to resign from his position and contest a councillor election.

The minister had earlier told Justice Qazi Faez Isa to resign from his position and contest a councillor election so he can determine his popularity and acceptance rate among the public.

“We have been hearing speeches of an under-trial Supreme Court judge for a week, but we would be accused of contempt of court if we respond to it,” he said in a tweet. The minister did not name Justice Isa, but it is clear that the term ‘under-trial’ was in reference to the said judge’s ongoing cases in the apex court.

ایک ہفتے سے سپریم کورٹ کے ایک انڈر ٹرائیل جج کی تقریریں سن رہے ہیں اگر جواب دیا تو دکھ ہوا سے توہین ہوگئ کے بھاشن آجائیں گے محترم اگر اپ کو بھی اپنے گاڈ فادر افتخار چوہدری کی طرح سیاست کاشوق ہے تو مستعفیٰ ہو کر کونسلر کا الیکشن لڑ لیں مقبولیت اور قبولیت دونوں کا اندازہ ہو جائیگا
