A three-judge full bench headed by Justice Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi and comprising Justice Atir Mahmood and Justice Masood Jahangir resumed hearing of 27 miscellaneous contempt petitions against the ruling party leaders for making anti-judiciary remarks.

The Supreme Court summoned a record of complaints against the speeches by PML-N leaders filed with the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra).

He said the bench also dismissed Sharifs petition challenging the jurisdiction of the court in this matter.

Accountability Court-I Judge Mohammad Bashir, who has been conducting corruption proceedings against the Sharif family since September past year, is presiding over the case.

The Avenfield properties reference is among three filed against Nawaz and his family by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) previous year on the directions of the Supreme Court.

Imran Khan, the former cricketer and political foe of Mr Sharif, suggested...

The PML-N leaders were served notices by the court to appear in person or by counsel today. If convicted, he can be jailed.

The former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday said the premiership was not the bed of roses, and added the World had changed and they also needed to be changed.

Sharif said patriots have became traitors today, adding that he wanted all to get along.

Maryam in her address had said: "The SC judges had asked Imran Khan (cricketer-turned-politician and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman) to file a petition so that they could oust Nawaz Sharif as he (Khan) had failed to make that happen through protest movement".

The trial against the Sharif family had commenced on September 14, 2017.

The petitioner said PEMRA did not block these hateful and ridiculing remarks passed against the judiciary.
