Lawyer Hamid Khan replied that the allegations made by me are true, Chief Justice of Pakistan said that you have come before us under Article 184 three, also remember what can happen under original jurisdiction.

The Chief Justice said that you are making the facilitators a party, the real banifishery is someone else, you have not mentioned the real banifishery in the petition, you have made accusations behind people’s backs, those who have been accused are for someone else. Facilitating, someone was benefited by facilitating.

Lawyer Barrister Salahuddin Ahmed said that Nawaz Sharif was expelled by putting pressure on the judicial system, the Chief Justice of Pakistan inquired who benefited from this? Did this happen to benefit Sindh Bar or Islamabad Bar?

Barrister Salahuddin Ahmed said that we requested an inquiry so that the facts come out.

Use statutory language here.

The Chief Justice of Pakistan said that our position is clear where the political jurisdiction ends and the judicial jurisdiction begins, since when your case has not been decided, stand before us and make this accusation, we will apologize. When the party came, we made a decision in 12 days. When has a case been decided so quickly in the country?

There is no connection with General Bajwa, you say that Faiz Hameed came at the behest of General (R) Bajwa, General Qamar Javed Bajwa is not directly accused, nowadays people use someone’s name, Rame. are also irrelevant to this case.
