A three-judge bench headed by Justice Azmat Saeed dismissed Akhtar's appeal against the contempt of court committed by him.
Akhtar's counsel requested the court to adjourn the hearing citing the absence of a senior counsel.
The court questioned the lawyer if judges are entitled to less respect as compared to others. "Are we bad people?" said Justice Sheikh. "Does the judiciary not have any respect?"
Before concluding the hearing, Justice Sheikh reminded Akhtar's counsel that his client's punishment will definitely be enhanced.
Hearing was adjourned for an indefinite period.
