The Supreme Court has issued contempt of court show-cause notices to Senator Faisal Vawda and MNA Mustafa Kamal over their allegedly derogatory speeches against the judiciary.

A three-judge bench of the court, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa and including Justice Irfan Saadat and Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan, took up a suo motu case on Faisal Vawda's press conference of May 15 wherein he took a jibe at the judges who alleged interference in judicial matters. The additional attorney general appeared before the bench.

The Supreme Court adjourned the contempt of court suo motu hearing till June 5.

Contempt notices were issued to both politicians following their press conferences on May 15 and 16, respectively. The court has demanded responses from Vawda and Kamal within two weeks and has also sought records of their press conferences from the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra).

In retrospect, the court decreed, there had been contempt of court, and summoned both Vawda and Kamal. CJP Isa emphasized that the comments made by the two leaders appeared to undermine the dignity of the judiciary.

The hearing
"I have taken oath under the Constitution, have you ever heard an insult from me against parliament? Parliament is supreme," the chief justice remarked.

He further said that if anyone had any problems, they should file an application, asking to be criticized by name. He stressed not to put the entire blame on him.

Chief Justice Isa issued strong remarks during the hearing, expressing concern over the attacks on judicial institutions. He stated, "This is an institution of the people, and you are trying to lower its dignity." He reiterated that criticism should be directed at individuals, not institutions, and condemned the sweeping generalizations made by the politicians. "Criticize personalities, why criticize institutions?" he questioned.
