ISLAMABAD: Senior PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry has urged upon the Supreme Court of Pakistan to take notice of two different verdicts issued by Islamabad High Court (IHC) yesterday.
سپریم کورٹ اسلام آباد ہائیکورٹ میں ایک ہی دن دو مختلف فیصلوں کا نوٹس لے،صبح اعظم سواتی کے کیس میں کہا گیا دوسرے صوبوں میں اختیار سماعت نہیں ہے اسی دن ن کمپنی کے پنجاب اور خیبر پختونخواہ میں درج مقدموں میں مزید کاروئیوں روک دی گئیں، اس طرح کے فیصلے عدلیہ کی بے توقیری کا باعث ہیں

His comment on Twitter came after the IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq on Saturday rejected the petition of the PTI leader Azam Khan Swati seeking details of FIRs registered against him for single offence across the country. The court said that it could not issue such directives to the Interior Ministry, adding that the petitioner could approach the high courts of Sindh and Balochistan in that regard.

However, Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri of IHC yesterday suspended multiple cases, filed in Lahore and Peshawar for a single offence, against the government officials in different cities across the country following the press conference by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Mian Javed Latif on the national broadcaster against former premier and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan.

During the course of proceedings yesterday, Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri asked “can multiple cases be filed based on tweets, vlogs or programmes seen in various areas of the country?” and sought judicial assistance from the Pakistan Bar Council, the Supreme Court Bar Association and the Islamabad High Court Bar Association.
Taking to Twitter, Fawad Chaudhry urged upon the Supreme Court to take notice of these different verdicts on same nature of offence, as such verdicts were resulting in declining respect for judiciary.
