ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court gave a lifeline of three weeks to the Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf in the show-cause notice for contempt of court after the premier assured the bench that steps would be taken to implement the apex court’s judgment directing the government to write the letter to the Swiss authorities to reopen graft cases against President Asif Ali Zardari.A five-judge bench headed by Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, which had issued the show-cause notice to the prime minister on Aug 8 for not implementing its order, heard the case.
In an almost 60 minutes of hearing, Prime Minister Ashraf assured the court that he was serious in resolving the issue arising after the Supreme Court’s judgment and sought for six weeks time.
The prime minister told the court that the issue had caused ripples in the country and that people had concerns regarding the case.
Prime Minister Ashraf said he respected the court and would make serious efforts to end the impasse.
The court appreciated the prime minister’s appearance and said he was appearing as the premier and not as an accused as no charges had been framed against him.
The court, however, expressed its reservations over what it called anti-judiciary propaganda being carried out by some in the ranks of the Pakistan People’s Party.
Moreover, the court was irked by the prime minister’s repeated requests seeking more time to hold deliberations with his legal aides over the issue.
Justice Khosa said that the premier, after the apex court’s judgment, was bound to implement the order without any deliberations.
The prime minister kept insisting for more time assuring that he was not employing delaying tactics and that he was serious in resolving the issue. Justice Khosa thanked the prime minister for his assurance.
The hearing of the case was subsequently adjourned until Sep 18.
