Contempt hearing fixed over anti-judge campaign

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has scheduled a hearing on a contempt of court case regarding a social media campaign against Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri.

According to the cause list issued by the registrar's office, a larger bench led by Chief Justice Aamer Farooq will convene on Nov 7 to hear the case.

Justice Jahangiri will not be part of the bench.

The previous hearing could not be held due to the unavailability of a larger bench as Justice Babar Sattar had been on leave. With his return, the case has now been rescheduled.
