New JIT in Model Town case: LHC summons Punjab CM, law minister
#GEOBREAKINGNEWS - New JIT in Model Town case: LHC summons Punjab CM, law minister- 11 April 2019 | #GEONEWS LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday summoned Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, provincial law minister, chief secretary and the law secretary to appear before court at 3pm. The summons came as a LHC full-bench heard a notice issued to Advocate General of Punjab Ahmad Awais for contempt of court over his conduct during an announcement of an interim order on the joint investigation team (JIT) formed to hold a fresh probe into the 2014 Model Town incident. As the hearing went under way, Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmed Khan remarked, "One of the biggest law officers in the province is standing like a suspect. He should be speaking about the supremacy of law." "The court has only issued a notice and not a show-cause notice," the bench clarified. At this, Advocate Hamid Khan said, "There is no contempt of court law today." Justice Aalia Neelum pointed out, "There is a difference between freedom of expression and speaking loudly." Advocate Hamid Khan then urged that "contempt of court should hardly be used in today's day and age". Justice Muhammad Qasim Khan questioned, "What should happen if someone starts cursing?" In response, Advocate Hamid Khan said, "I will be grateful if you ignore it. Kindness does not mean weakness." #GeoSpecialReport #GeoBreakingNews
