IHC

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday heard a contempt of court case over leaking confidential information about Justice Babar Sattar’s family.

A larger bench headed by Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani and comprising Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri and Justice Sardar Ejaz Ishaq Khan heard the case.

The court issued notices to the Attorney General’s Office, FIA, IB, ISI, and PEMRA. Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani said that we would notify all the institutions and call for a report.

Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani remarked that no one dares to approach the judge and the most worrisome is that the confidential information of the judge has been leaked, either by hacking the accounts of the state institutions or by state institutions leaked this information.

He said that the role of ISI, IB, and PTA should be seen and it cannot be done on social media or print and electronic media. He said it is very easy to say that fifth-generation war is fair.

Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani said that if anyone tries to approach, contempt of court action will be taken up to the High Office.

Justice Mohsin Kayani said that this data was uploaded from some Twitter accounts and a malicious campaign was launched, all this is being done to put pressure on a judge who is hearing the case.

Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani while talking to the State Council said that he is going to start contempt of court proceedings.

He said that we will also issue a notice to the Defence Secretary.
