The Supreme Court has dismissed a contempt petition against the Audio Leaks Inquiry Commission and Maryam Nawaz as inadmissible after raising several objections.
The Registrar's Office (RO) returned the application, citing seven objections. Among the objections were the use of derogatory language in the application and the petitioner's failure to specify which part of the apex court order was violated. Additionally, the main case paper books were not submitted as required, it noted.
The RO pointed out that the proceedings of the inquiry commission were halted in compliance with the apex court's ruling on May 26.
Furthermore, the petitioner's application against the Inquiry Commission is already being heard in court, rendering the plea for contempt of court incomprehensible.
The court emphasised that individuals who have not provided evidence supporting their allegations of contempt of court cannot file a contempt petition, leading to the dismissal of the petition as inadmissible.
The contempt of court proceedings were initiated in the apex court against the alleged Audio Leaks Inquiry Commission and Maryam.
