The deputy attorney general requested the bench to adjourn the hearing.
Addressing the bench, the counsel for petitioner Advocate Muhammad Azhar Siddique said that the president had received the notice through his principal secretary, adding that, the fact that no one appeared on the president’s behalf was also tantamount to contempt of court.
The bench subsequently said that if the president had any reservations or objections pertaining to the LHC’s verdict in the dual office case, he could register those before the bench through a counsel or a representative.
Sajjad said the government respected the judiciary, adding that, the question that needed addressing was that whether or not contempt of court had been committed.
