New AG prosecutor in contempt of court case against Gilani | | The Pakistan Supreme Court has named newly-appointed Attorney General Irfan Qadri as the prosecutor in the contempt of court case against Prime Minister
Yousuf Raza Gilani and has adjourned the hearing till April 16. A seven-member
bench ruled that Qadri and not former attorney general Anwar-ul -Haq would be
the prosecutor for the case, The Express Tribune reports. An argument began between
the judges and Gilani’s lawyer Aitzaz Aitzaz during the hearing when newly appointed
Attorney General Irfan Qadir requested the court that he be given some time to
review the case. Meanwhile, Ahsan said that he had also brought to the court’s
notice that a media group had accused him of being a liar and added it was up
to the court to decide if he was a liar or not. He also stressed that under Article
10 (a), the process of a fair trial is now a fundamental right of every person
and added that Supreme Court’s rules are not superior to Pakistan’s Constitution.
