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.
