“Shahzad Akbar’s statement related to Justice Isa is a contempt of court,” reads the petition.
Justice Isa describes Farogh Naseem as a ‘tout’
It pleads that a contempt of court proceeding should be conducted against Akbar, who used word “accused” for Justice Isa.
It is pertinent to mention that Akbar is one of the respondents in a petition filed by Justice Isa against a presidential reference that seeks his removal over alleged misconduct.
