SC reconstitutes bench to hear contempt case against Imran

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court has reconstituted a bench to conduct proceedings in contempt of court notice to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, Geo News reported Thursday.

The three-judge new SC bench, headed by Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali and comprising Justice Khilji Arif Hussain and Justice Aijaz Afzal, will resume hearing of the case on August 28.

According to sources, the SC reconstituted the above bench due to Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry’s engagements in Quetta next week.

The earlier bench which was hearing the contempt case against Imran Khan was headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and comprised Justice Jawwad S Khwaja and Justice Shaikh Azmat Saeed as members.
