Islamabad: The hearing on Zulfikar Ali Bhutto reference has started in the Supreme Court of Pakistan. A 9-member larger bench headed by Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa is hearing the reference.
Chairman People’s Party and former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari reached the Supreme Court on the occasion of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto reference hearing.
During the hearing, the Chief Justice remarked that our main focus is on the constitutional aspect. Makhdoom Ali Khan said that Supreme Court took a view in Tamizuddin Khan case. Justice Mansoor Ali Shah remarked that the real question in this case is whether the process was properly followed in the court proceedings or not.
Chief Justice Qazi Faiz Isa said that our jurisdiction is very clear. Cannot be revised twice. How do we draw the line in this case? Is there a question of bias in this case or an admission of wrongdoing? On this occasion, the judicial assistant said that a judge said in an interview that he was under pressure, to which the Chief Justice remarked that he did not say that I was biased.
The Chief Justice said that if I cannot bear the pressure, I should leave the bench. One person may say that someone is prejudiced, another may not hold this opinion.
