Judge Tahir Mehmood announced the reserved judgement.
Abidi during an interview at a local web channel had used derogatory and inappropriate language against former chief justice Mian Saqib Nisar which led to his arrest from the apex court premises in December last year following the contempt notice.
He called the CJP a ‘traitor’ for taking oath under the Provisional Constitution Order.
The former senator was acquitted by the Anti-Terrorism Court in the same case.
The ex-senator was released from Adiala Jail after a three-member bench of the top court accepted his unconditional apology and discharged a contempt notice. However, the proceeding in the ATC against Abidi remained unaffected.
