Only received notice, not charged with contempt of court: Sher Afgan
ISLAMABAD: Federal minister for parliamentary affairs Dr. Sher Afgan Niazi said that he has received only the notice but has not been charged with the contempt of the court.
Talking with Arshad Waheed Chaudhry of Geo News in Islamabad, Dr. Sher Afgan told that it was questioned in the notice that why not he be charged with the contempt of the court.
He said that he is considering to submit to the Supreme Court a reply to the notice.
In reply to a question, he said that the Supreme Court can take a suo moto action only in special cases and not in each and every case. These include the matter of the contempt of the court or non-compliance of the fundamental human rights.
On a question by Geo News, he said that he does not know about bringing the constitutional amendments for reducing the Supreme Court’s suo moto powers.
