SC schedules Fawad cases for hearing

The Supreme Court on Wednesday scheduled hearings in former minister Chaudhry Fawad Hussain's May 9-related cases, after he personally appeared before Chief Justice Yahya Afridi.

Fawad was accompanied by his counsel, Advocate Faisal Chaudhry.

He contended that despite earlier court orders, his case had not yet been scheduled for hearing. Advocate Faisal added that if a larger bench was available, the case should have been placed before it.

The chief justice noted that justice must not be delayed and reiterated that cases should be disposed of within four months.
