Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry directed the attorney general to put up a request for adjustment before the judicial commission and the 11-member apex court bench hearing the memo case and the NRO implementation case.
The two hearings were to be held simultaneously on January 16 - and had to be attended by Attorney General (AG) Maulvi Anwarul Haq.
The AG had approached the chief justice to adjust the date of hearings. He informed the chief justice that he would have a hard time attending the memo commission proceedings and the NRO case at the same time.
According to a statement issued in Islamabad on Thursday, the chief justice said both cases were very important and had already been fixed by the commission and the apex court.
“Therefore, any order passed for an adjustment would likely cause a delay in the respective proceedings,” the statement said.

@Shahid Malik: It was under no pressure before. Wake up my friend we need to save the country and send this party of feudal lords packing.
AG Should Sit Home and Watch Supreme COURT Tickers on TV
It is not possible for any government to deliver which is kept under pressure by Supreme Court on a daily basis.
Lolz lolz!! I guess his replies for all cases are same " I Don't know" or "I have no instruction over this issue" so no adjustment required here :P
Mr. AG, please go to Pakistan Memo League Commission... At least expose the Liar-n-Chief Mansoor Ijaz.
